Find the slope of each line without graphing
through (-5,-6) and (5,6), how would I work this problem?? Thank you studying for mid-term and missed these sloping questions.

Slope of a line AB is = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Where the 2 points are A(x1,y1), and B(x2,y2)
Here, it is (6- [-6])/ (5-[-5])
=12/10 = 6/5 =1.2

Slope formula
m = y₂- y₁/ x₂- x₁
m = 6 - (- 6) / 5 - (- 5)
m = 6 + 6 / 5 + 5
m = 12 / 10
m = 1 2/10
m = 1 1/5
m = 1.2

Gradient (slope) = m
m = [6 - (-6)] / [5 - (-5)]
m = 12 / 10 = 6 / 5

Plug the 2 points into this equation:
m=
y2 - y1
----------
x2 - x1
