what is the slope of a line containing these points? (5,-2) & (-3,2) please show all work?

Answer 1

Slope = change in y / change in x

= (2 - (-2)) / (-3 - (5))

= 4 / -8

= -1/2

Answer 2

slope equals the change in y over the change in x. (rise over run)

y values (-2, 2)
x values (5, -3)

rise=-2-2
run=5-(-3)

rise=-4
run=8

slope=-1/2
