Question 729411
The equation for finding slope is {{{(y[2]-y[1])/(x[2]-x[1])}}}. Using the x and y coordinates from the points (-3,-9) and (5, -7)...
{{{y[2]=-7}}}
{{{y[1]=-9}}}
{{{x[2]=5}}}
{{{x[1]=-3}}}
So, if we set up an equation...
{{{(-7-(-9))/(5-(-3))}}} becomes {{{2/8}}}. Your slope will be positive {{{2/8}}}.
