Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 1) and (–1, –5)?

Answer 1

Do you perhaps remember the formula for the slope of a line?

Answer 2

\[m=\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]
m is the slope
(x1,y1),(x2,y2) are the points of the line.. now substitute the values

Answer 3

right so you would do -5-1/-1-1 so you get -6/-2 the negatives cancel out and your slope equals 3

Answer 4

so m=3
