Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is 1.

Step-by-step explanation: when you graph them you do the rise/run you get 1 which is the slope.

Answer 2

Answer:

slope = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the slope m use the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 10, 3)

m = $\frac{3-8}{-10+5}$ = $\frac{-5}{-5}$ = 1
