Question

What is the slope of a line passing through (-5, 5) and (-4, 10)?

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for finding slope:

$\frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}$

Slope of line passing through (-5,5) and (-4,10)

=

$\frac{5 - 10}{ - 5 - ( - 4)} \\ = \frac{ - 5}{ - 5 + 4} \\ = \frac{ - 5}{ - 1} \\ = 5$

Answer 2

Answer:

Slope = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope:

    (-5,5)   ;   x₁ = -5    & y₁ = 5

    (-4, 10)  ;   x₂ = -4  & y₂ = 10

             $\sf \boxed{\bf Slope = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}$

                         $\sf =\dfrac{10-5}{-4-[-5]}\\\\ =\dfrac{10-5}{-4+5}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{1}\\\\= 5$
