Question

Find the slope of (5,-5) and (-4,5)

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope of points (5,-5) and (-4,5) is $\mathbf{-\frac{10}{9} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the slope of points (5,-5) and (-4,5)

The formula used to find slope is: $Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have $x_1=5, y_1=-5, x_2=-4 \ and \ y=5$

Putting values in formula and finding slope

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

$Slope=\frac{5-(-5)}{-4-(5)}\\Slope=\frac{5+5}{-4-5}\\Slope=\frac{10}{-9}\\Slope=-\frac{10}{9}$

So, slope of points (5,-5) and (-4,5) is $\mathbf{-\frac{10}{9} }$
