Question

Find the slope of the line through the points (-2,5) and (-6,-3)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, - 3)

m = $\frac{-3-5}{-6+2}$ = $\frac{-8}{-4}$ = 2
