Question 674407: Find the slope.
Find the slope of the line through the points (-5,3) and (4,3)
Find the slope of the line through the points (5,5) and(1,-1)
Find the slope of the line through the points (3,-5) and (1,1)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
slope = %28y1-y2%29%2F%28x1-x2%29
...
Using (-5,3) and (4,3)
slope = %283-3%29%2F%28-5-4%29+=+0%2F-9 = 0
horizontal line
...
Using (5,5) and (1,-1)
slope = %285--1%29%2F%285-1%29+=+6%2F4+=+highlight_green%283%2F2%29
positive slope, means rising line that looks like /
...
Using (3,-5) and (1,1)
slope = %28-5-1%29%2F%283-1%29+=+-6%2F2+=+highlight_green%28-3%29
negative slope, means a downward line that looks like \
