Question

Fine the slope of the line through each pair of points (-2, -3) and (-1, 5)

Answer 1

something to help. I already tried figuring it out and I think my answer is wrong

Answer 2

it would be 8/1 which simplifies to just 8 :)

Answer 3

but how?! LOL Ok so isn't the formula something like y2-y1 over x2-x1?

Answer 4

which would be 5-3 / -1 - (-2) which should equal 2/1?

Answer 5

Yup, The equation to find this is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Its 5 minus a negative 3... which is 8 for the numerator

Answer 6

ooooohhh I was subtracting the negatives incorrectly. Got it! Thanks!

Answer 7
