Question 107971: I wanted to see if I answered this correct.
Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, -5) and (-5, -6).
We need to use the formula
M=y2-y1/x2-x1
We then input the numbers given in the proper place
-6-(-5)/-5-3
-1/-8
thanks for your help

Slope of the line through the points (3, -5) and (-5, -6)



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


m+=+%28-6+-+%28-5%29%29%2F%28-5+-+3%29


m+=+%28-6+%2B+5%29%2F%28-5+-+3%29


m+=+%28-1%29%2F%28-8%29


m+=+1%2F8



Answer: Slope is m+=+1%2F8
