What is the slope of the line passing through (-3, 5) and (5, -3)? slope = -1 slope = 0 slope = 1 no slope
you would find the slope by putting the points in the formula y2-y1/x2-x1
when plugged it should look like this
-3-5/5+3
now add or subtract the numbers to get
-8/8
when you divide it you will get
-1
hope this helped
Finding the slope using two points:
The formula for slope is
\(\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\)
In this case...
\(y_{2} =-3\\y_{1} =5\\x_{2} =5\\x_{1} =-3\)
^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...
\(\frac{-3 - 5}{5 - (-3)}\)
\(\frac{-8}{8}\)
This can be further simplified to:
-1
^^^This is your slope
Hope this helped!
