What's the slope for coordinates (-5,-5) (5,3)?

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (difference in y)/(difference in x)

slope = (-5 - 3)/(-5 - 5)

slope = -8/(-10)

slope = 4/5

(-5,-5) (5,3)

Slope is equal to the change in  

y

over the change in  

x

, or rise over run.

m

=

change in y

change in x

The change in  

x

is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in  

y

is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise).
