Question 100563: Did I do this correctly? I need to find the slope for a line passing through (4,-5) and (3,-4)
I have -5-4/3-4 = 1/-1 = -1
Could -1 be the slope?
thanks!!

Correct -- good job!
Use the formula for the slope of a line:
m=%28%28y1-y2%29%2F%28x1-x2%29%29
Plug-in the values and solve:
m=%28%28-5-%28-4%29%29%2F%284-3%29%29
m=%28-1%2F1%29 = -1
