Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through `(3,5)` and `(-2, 10)`?

Answer 1

`m = -1`

Explanation:

The slope of the line that passes through `(x_1, y_1) and(x_2, y_2)` :
`m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

In your case: `m = (10 - 5)/(-2 - 3)`

`m = -1`

Answer 2

`"slope "=-1`

Explanation:

`"to calculate the slope m use the "color(blue)"gradient formula"`

`•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`"let "(x_1,y_1)=(3,5)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(-2,10)`

`rArrm=(10-5)/(-2-3)=5/(-5)=-1`
