slope = 0
slope = 1
no slope

Answer 1

slope equals -1

Answer 2

How do you get the answer?

Answer 3

okay

Answer 4

so first youll need the slope formula

Answer 5

which is y2-y2 over x2-x1

Answer 6

so it would be -3-5 over 5-(-3)

Answer 7

-8 over 8 being -1 as your slope or rate of change

Answer 8

So you insert the numbers you already know and multiply by 2 for y?

Answer 9

no youre not multiplying anything

Answer 10

well the formula said y2-y2 you don't multiply that 2?

Answer 11

no the 1 and 2 just stand for first and second y bc theres two y's and x's

Answer 12

oh that makes sense
