what is the slope of the line passes through the points (-3, -3) and (-5, -2) in simplest form help me

Sagot :

Answer:

Slope, [tex]m=\dfrac{-1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the slope of the line passes through the points (-3, -3) and (-5, -2).

The formula for the slope of a line is given by :

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Put x₁ = -3, y₁ = -3, x₂ =-5 and y₂ = -2

So,

[tex]m=\dfrac{-2-(-3)}{-5-(-3)}\\\\m=\dfrac{-1}{2}[/tex]

So, the slope of the line is [tex]\dfrac{-1}{2}[/tex].
