Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2,-5) and

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = 1

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 ) = (- 3, - 6)

m = $\frac{-6-(-5)}{-3-(-2)}$ = $\frac{-6+5}{-3+2}$ = $\frac{-1}{-1}$ = 1
