What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: # (-5, -3) , (10,-2)#?
1 Answer
The slope is
Explanation:
To find the slope of a line given the points it crosses you can use the formula:
#"slope" = m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)#
Identify the coordinates:

You then apply the formula.
#m = (-2 - (-3))/(10 - (-5)) = 1/15#
