Question

What is the slope of the line RS that contains the points R(-2, -3), S(3, -5) HELP ASAP

Answer 1

Answer:

$slope = \dfrac{-2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line passing through points , $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is ,

$\implies slope = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

• Using this we have ,

$\implies slope = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\implies slope = \dfrac{-5+3}{3+2}\\\\\implies \boxed{\boxed{slope = \dfrac{-2}{5}}}$
