Answer:
Your answer would be Slope m = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Graph the points on a <u>coordinate plane</u>( <em>refer to image!)</em>
Whenever your trying to find a slope of 2 order pairs, remember this
m = rise/run. ( Slope = rise over run.) = Δy/Δx
Now we solve:
M = rise/run = Δy/Δx
M = y2 - y1/x2-x1
M = 5 - (-4) / -5-(-2)
<u>So we get M = 9/-3 and </u><u>9 divided by -3 is -3 </u>
<u />
So, the slope of (-2,-4) and (-5,5) is -3.
