Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through (0,5) and (-3,-4)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = 3

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 ) = (0, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, - 4)

m = $\frac{-4-5}{-3-0}$ = $\frac{-9}{-3}$ = 3
