Finding the slope using two points, (5, -1) and (-8, -4)

The formula for slope is

\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

In this case...

y_{2} =-4\\y_{1} =-1\\x_{2} =-8\\x_{1} =-5

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...

\frac{-4-(-1)}{-8-5}

\frac{-3}{-13}

\frac{3}{13}

^^^This is your slope

Hope this helped!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find a slope using two points is:

m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\m = ((-4)-(-1))/((-8)-(5))\\m = -3 / -13\\m = 3/13
