When you subtract a negative number, the sign flips and you add instead. Often, you are taught that two similar signs means add and two opposite signs mean minus.
<em>+ + = +</em>
<em>- - = -</em>
<em>+ - = -</em>
<em>- + = -</em>

This means -3/5 - -2/5 becomes -3/5 + 2/5.
Because you are adding, you move two lines to the right on the number line.
The slope would be 1 It’s because m=y^2-y^1/x^2-x^1, using (2,5) and (-6,-3), we can substitute it so it can be -3-5/-6-2 which equals to -8/-8 which is 1
