The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be calculated using the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Applying this formula to the given points (-2,-5) and (0,1), we have:
slope = (1 - (-5)) / (0 - (-2))
= (1 + 5) / (0 + 2)
= 6 / 2
= 3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-2,-5) and (0,1) is 3.
Find the slope of the line given the points on the graph.
The points are (-2,-5) and (0,1)
