What's the slope of the line that passes through the points

Question

What's the slope the line that passes through the points (-5,10) and (-2,6)

Answer 1

Slope of the line that passes through (-5,10) and (-2,6):

slope: m = change in y / change in x

m = (y₁ - y₂) / (x₁ - x₂)

m = (10 - 6) / ((-5) - (-2))

m = (10 - 6) / (-5) + 2)

m = 4 / -3

m = - 4 / 3 is the slope of the line.
