The slope of the line passes through the points (-5,6) and (-3,2) is 2.
<h3>What is a slope?</h3>
Slope or the gradient is the number or the ratio which determines the direction or the steepness of the line. The slope is also defined as the ratio of the rise to the run.
Given that the line that passes through the points (-5,6) and (-3,2).
The slope of the line is calculated by the formula,
Slope = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
Slope = ( 6 - 2) / ( -3 + 5)
Slope = 4 / 2
Slope = 2
Therefore, the slope of the line passes through the points (-5,6) and (-3,2) is 2.

The distance formula is an algebraic expression used to determine the distance between two points with the coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).

Example
Find the distance between (-1, 1) and (3, 4).
This problem is solved simply by plugging our x- and y-values into the distance formula:
<span><span>D=<span><span>(3−(−1)<span>)2</span>+(4−1<span>)2</span></span><span>−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−</span>√</span>=</span><span>D=<span>(3−(−1)<span>)2</span>+(4−1<span>)2</span></span>=</span></span>

Sometimes you need to find the point that is exactly between two other points. This middle point is called the "midpoint". By definition, a midpoint of a line segment is the point on that line segment that divides the segment in two congruent segments.
If the end points of a line segment is (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) then the midpoint of the line segment has the coordinates:
<span><span>(<span><span><span>x1</span>+<span>x2</span></span>2</span>,<span><span><span>y1</span>+<span>y2</span></span>2</span>)</span><span><span>(<span><span><span>x1</span>+<span>x2</span></span>2</span>,<span><span><span>y1</span>+<span>y2</span></span>2</span>)</span><span>

Answer:
The distance between point A and point B is 12 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
d = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²
d = √(-8 - 4)² + (6 - 6)²
d = √144 + 0
d = 12
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the common ratio, take the second term and divide by the first term
-14/-7 = 2
Check by dividing the third term by the second term
-28/-14 = 2
The common ratio is 2
