Question

What is the slope for (−5,−10) and (−1,5) A 15/4 B - 4/15 C -15/4 D 4/15

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be A. 15/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is equal to the change in y over the change in x, or rise over run.

m = change in y/change in x

The change in x is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run),  and the change in y is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise).

m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

Substitute in the values of x and y into the equation to find the slope.

m = 5 - (- 10)/- 1 - (- 5)

Simplify.

m = 15/4
