Answer:
The slope is
−
1
.
Here's how I did it:
explanation:
To find the slope of something, we do
△
y
△
x
, or change in y over change in x, or
y
2
−
y
1
x
2
−
x
1
.
In your question, you have two points on the line,
(
−
2
,
5
)
and
(
6
,
−
3
)
. So we can plug them into the equation above and solve for the slope.
(below, m means slope)
m
=
−
3
−
5
6
−
(
−
2
)
m
=
−
8
8
m
=
−
1
The slope is
−
1
.
Hope this helps!
