What is the slope of (-5,3) and (5,-1). explain.

slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m= (-1-3)/(5-(-5))

 = -4/10

  = -2/5

-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be easier to see the slope of a line if you draw it on a coordinate grid.

The slope is the "rise" divided by the "run", that is, the change in y divided by the change in x:

... slope = ∆y/∆x . . . . . . . . . where the symbol ∆ means "the change in"

Between your two points, the change in y (vertical distance) is -4 units; the change in x (horizontal distance) is 10 units. Then the slope is ...

... slope = -4/10 = -2/5

_____

The slope of a line is the same everywhere, so you can pick the closest pair of points on the line that have integer coordinates when you want to compute and express the slope as a fraction. (Of course, the slope is defined as ∆y/∆x whether these values are integers or not.)

0/5 is 0, 2/0 is undefined, and 0/0 is indeterminate.

hope my answer has you!

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
