Question

Calculate the slope of the line that goes through the points (1, −5) and (0, −10

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope given two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (-10- -5)/(0 -1)

   (-10+5)/(-1)

     - 5/-1

     5

Answer 2

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Plug in the numbers/coordinates accordingly:

$m=\frac{-10+5}{0-1}$

$m=\frac{-5}{-1}$         →         $m=\frac{5}{1}$

m = 5
