Question

How do you find the slope given (-3,-5) and (-1,-6)?

Answer 1

`"slope "=-1/2`

Explanation:

`"calculate the slope m using the "color(blue)"gradient formula"`

`•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`"let "(x_1,y_1)=(-3,-5)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(-1,-6)`

`m=(-6-(-5))/(-1-(-3))=(-1)/2=-1/2`
