Question

How do you find the slope passing through (5,-2), (-3,2)?

Answer 1

`m=-1/2`

Explanation:

slope given points `(\color(red)(x_1,y_1))` and `(\color(green)(x_2,y_2))`:
`m=(\color(green)(y_2)-\color(red)(y_1))/(\color(green)(x_2)-\color(red)(x_1))`

you are given points `(\color(red)(5,-2))` and `(\color(green)(-3,2))`
`\thereforem=(\color(green)(2)-(\color(red)(-2)))/(\color(green)(-3)-\color(red)(5))=(2+2)/-8=4/-8=-4/8=-1/2`
