Slope of the line through the points (-10, -10) and (-7, 5)



m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+%28y%5B1%5D%29%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+%28x%5B1%5D%29%29


m+=+%285+-+%28-10%29%29%2F%28-7+-+%28-10%29%29


m+=+%285+%2B+10%29%2F%28-7+%2B+10%29


m+=+%2815%29%2F%283%29


m+=+5



Answer: Slope is m+=+5

slope = ( change in y ) / ( change in x )
P1 = ( -10, -10 )
P2 = ( -7, 5 )
---------------
The format of this is:
P1 = ( x1, y1 )
P2 = ( x2, y2 )
The formula then is:
slope = +%28+y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D+%29+%2F+%28+x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D+%29+
----------------------------------
Let slope = +m+
+m+=+%28+5+-%28+-10+%29+%29+%2F+%28+-7+-%28+-10+%29+%29+
+m+=+%28+5+%2B+10+%29+%2F+%28+-7+%2B+10+%29+
+m+=+15+%2F+3+
+m+=+5+
