Question #b9caa

1 Answer

Dec 16, 2016

$m = - 1$ $m=-1$

Explanation:

The slope is measured by

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

where $(x_{1}; y_{1})$ $(x_1;y_1)$ and $(x_{2}; y_{2})$ $(x_2;y_2)$ are the given points.

Then

$m = \frac{- 3 - 5}{5 + 3}$ $m=(-3-5)/(5+3)$

$m = - \frac{8}{8} = - 1$ $m=-8/8=-1$
