Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?

Answer 1

Answer: C. 5/6


Steps:

Use the formula x1-x2/y1-y2 to find the slope

(5,11), (-5,-1)

-5-5/-1-11
= -10/-12
=5/6

Answer 2

Answer:

$m= \frac{6}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope can be calculated using following formula

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

Here

$(x_1, y_1) = (-5, -1) \ \ and \ \ (x_2, y_2) = (5, 11)$

Slope m is given as

$m=\frac{11-(-1)}{5-(-5)}$

$m=\frac{12}{10}\\m=\frac{6}{5}$
