Question

What is the slope of the line? (please explain!)

Answer 1

-5/2
Slope is rise over run

Answer 2

Answer:

-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line is also called gradient.

Let A(x₁,y₁) and B(x₂,y₂) be points on a certain line;

slope = (y₂ -y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

In this question the 2 points that lie on the line are: (-5,5) and (0,3)

slope = (3 - 5)/(0 - -5)

         = -2/5
