Question #b9caa Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer Gerardina C. Dec 16, 2016 #m=-1# Explanation: The slope is measured by #m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)# where #(x_1;y_1)# and #(x_2;y_2)# are the given points. Then #m=(-3-5)/(5+3)# #m=-8/8=-1# Answer link Related questions What is Slope? How can slope be undefined? How do you calculate slope from a graph? How do you calculate the slope given two points?
