Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-6, 3) and (4, -5)?

Answer 1

`"slope "=-4/5`

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)=(-6,3)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(4,-5)`

`m=(-5-3)/(4-(-6))=(-8)/10=-4/5`
