Question

what is the slope of the line shown below (-2,5) and (3,-5)

Answer 1

Answer:

                 $\bold{m=-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\(-2,\,5)\ \implies\ x_1=-2\,,\ y_1=5\\(3,\,-5)\ \implies\ x_2=3\,,\ y_2=-5\\\\m=\dfrac{-5-5}{3-(-2)}=\dfrac{-10}{3+2}=-\dfrac{10}5=-2$
