(-4, -5

Answer 1

To find the slope of the line given the point (-4, -5), we need another point on the line. Since only one point was provided, I will explain how to calculate the slope if a second point is given.

The formula for the slope \( m \) between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is:

\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

If you provide another point, I can help you calculate the slope. If you only have one point (-4, -5), then we need another point on the line to proceed further.
