Your slope equals -10/5. You can look at this in a fraction for when you might use it later in point slope or slope intercept form, or you can just simplify it to -2. It might also be helpful to remember the numerator as the rise and the denominator as run, or “rise over run” if you need to graph it.
Slope = -10/5 or -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope, often referred to as the variable “m” can be found by solving y2-y1/x2-x1. You can do it the opposite way, though make sure the y-values are on the top.
