Can someone help me find the slope of
the line through (-4, 3) and (-5, -2)?
Thanks


Just plug 

x1 = -4, y1 = 3, 
x2 = -5, y2 = -2 

into the slope formula:

     y2 - y1
m = --------- 
     x2 - x1

      (-2) - (3)
m = -------------- 
     (-5) - (-4) 

     -2 - 3
m = -------- 
     -5 + 4

     -5
m = ---- 
     -1

m = 5

The line slopes like this:
