Find the slope of the line.
Given two points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂), the slope of the line passes through these points will be:m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)In this case, the points are (-5,-4) and (1,-3) and the slope would be:m=(-3+4)/(1+5)=1/6Answer: the slope would be 1/6
Answer: \(m = \frac{1}{6}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
(-5,-4) = (x1, y1)
(1,-3) = (x2, y2)
Slope = \(\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\)
= \(\frac{-3-(-4)}{1-(-5)}\)
= \(\frac{-3+4}{1+5}\)
= \(\frac{1}{1+5}\)
= \(\frac{1}{6}\)
