What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, -3) and
(-5, -2)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the line is determined by [tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex]

The rise can be calculated by taking the y coordinates of 2 points and subtracting them.

The run can be calculated by taking the x coordinates of 2 points and subtracting them.

so

[tex]rise = (-3-(-2)) = -1[/tex]

[tex]run =(-3-(-5)) = 2[/tex]

slope = [tex]\frac{rise}{run} = \frac{-1}{2} =-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
