How do you find the slope for (2, -10) (-1, 5)? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer MeneerNask Jun 25, 2015 You divide the change in y by the corresponding change in x Explanation: Slope=(Deltay)/(Deltax)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(5-(-10))/(-1-2)=15/(-3)=-5 Answer link Related questions What is Slope?
