Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, -3) and

Answer 1

Answer:

$-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the line is determined by $\frac{rise}{run}$

The rise can be calculated by taking the y coordinates of 2 points and subtracting them.

The run can be calculated by taking the x coordinates of 2 points and subtracting them.

so

$rise = (-3-(-2)) = -1$

$run =(-3-(-5)) = 2$

slope = $\frac{rise}{run} = \frac{-1}{2} =-\frac{1}{2}$
