Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-2,5) and (6,-3)? O A. 1 O B. -8 O C. -1 O D. 8​

Answer 1

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope using the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (-3-5)/(6 - -2)

   = (-3-5)/(6+2)

   = -8/8

   = -1

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1}$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-2,5) and (6,-3)

The slope is

$m = \frac{ - 3 - 5}{6 + 2} = - \frac{8}{8} = - 1$

We have the final answer as

- 1
