Question

Select the correct answer. What is the slope of the line that goes through (-5,-5) and (5,-7)?

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=-\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula to find the slope  m.

Answer 2

Answer:

-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

slope formula:

m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

Two points are given:

(-5, -5) (5, -7)

m = -7 - (-5) / 5 - (-5)

m = -2 / 10

m = -1/5
