Finding the slope using two points, (5, -1) and (-8, -4)

The formula for slope is

[tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

In this case...

[tex]y_{2} =-4\\y_{1} =-1\\x_{2} =-8\\x_{1} =-5[/tex]

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...

[tex]\frac{-4-(-1)}{-8-5}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-3}{-13}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{13}[/tex]

^^^This is your slope

Hope this helped!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find a slope using two points is:

[tex]m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\m = ((-4)-(-1))/((-8)-(5))\\m = -3 / -13\\m = 3/13[/tex]
