What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: #(0, -5) , (-3, 1) #? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer Lucy May 18, 2018 #m=-2# Explanation: Slope (m) = #(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)# where #(x_1,y_1)# can be #(0,-5)# and #(x_2,y_2)# can be #(-3,1)# or vice versa #m=(1-(-5))/(-3-0)# #m=6/-3# #m=-2# Answer link Related questions What is Slope?
