Question

Find the slope of the line.

Answer 1

Given two points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂), the slope of the line passes through these points will be:
m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

In this case, the points are (-5,-4) and (1,-3) and the slope would be:
m=(-3+4)/(1+5)=1/6

Answer: the slope would be 1/6

Answer 2

Answer: $m = \frac{1}{6}$



Step-by-step explanation:

(-5,-4) = (x1, y1)

(1,-3) = (x2, y2)

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

          = $\frac{-3-(-4)}{1-(-5)}$

          = $\frac{-3+4}{1+5}$

          = $\frac{1}{1+5}$

          = $\frac{1}{6}$
