Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2,-5) (6,-1)

[tex]\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-1 + 5}{6 +2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Answer:

m = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the m = Y2 - Y1 / X2 - X1. m is the slope variable.

y2 = -1

y1 = -5

x2= 6

x1 = -2

Then you plug it in the formula

m = -1-(-5)/6-(-2)

In the equation, there are two double negative which will become positive.

-1+5/6+2 = 4/8

Then you know 4 is one half of 8 so you can reduce the fraction to 1/2

Hope this helps!!
