The slope of a line is calculated using the formula:
slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
In this case, the change in y is: -5 - 5 = -10
The change in x is: 8 - (-4) = 12
Therefore, the slope of the line is: (-10)/(12) = -5/6.
What is the slope of the line shown? There are two points shown, (-4,5),(8,-5).
