Question

How do you find the slope from the pair of points (-5,-4) and (5,2)?

Answer 1

`m=3/5`

Explanation:

Use the slope equation `m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`, where `m` is the slope, and `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2, y_2)` are the two points.

Point 1: `(-5,-4)`
Point 2: `(5,2)`

`m=(2-(-4))/(5-(-5))`

`m=(2+4)/(5+5)`

`m=6/10`

`m=3/5`
