Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the two points (-2,-5,) and (-3,6). Show your work.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$(x_1, \:y_1) =(-2,\: -5) \:\: \&\:\: (x_2, \:y_2) =(-3,\: 6)$

Slope of line in two point form is given as:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\\\=\frac{6-(-5)}{-3-(-2)}\\\\=\frac{6+5}{-3+2}\\\\=\frac{11}{-1}\\\\\therefore m= -11$

Thus slope of given line is - 11.
