Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-5,-2)and(3,-9) .
To find the slope of the line passing through two points, we can use the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Where:
(x1, y1) = (-5, -2)
(x2, y2) = (3, -9)
Now, plug in the values:
slope = (-9 - (-2)) / (3 - (-5))
slope = (-9 + 2) / (3 + 5)
slope = -7 / 8
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-5, -2) and (3, -9) is -7/8.
