Question

what is the slope of the line that passes through the point (3,-5) and (-2,6)

Answer 1

Here is the formula to determine a line's slope when given the locations of two points:

 

       y₂ - y₁

m = x₂ - x₁

 

So if you are given points (3, -5) and (-2, 6), plug these values into the formula to find the slope (m).

 

 

m = 6 - (-5)

       -2 - 3

 

m = 6 + 5

       -2 - 3

 

m = 11

       -5

 

m = -2.2

Answer 2

Slope = rise/run

 

Slope = (y₁-y₂)/(x₁-x₂)

 

Slope = (6-(-5))/(-2-3). Solve.
