Math 10 - (Slopes, Linear Relations)

2. Determine the slope of the line containing each pair of points.
a) A (0,5) and B (-3,2)
b) C (-2,-3) and D (-6, -11)

slope
m= y2-y1 / x2-x1


a) A (0,5) and B (-3,2)
m = 2-5 /-3-0 = -3/-3 = 1

b) C (-2,-3) and D (-6, -11)
m = -11-(-3) / -6-(-2) = -8 /-4 = 2
