Slope of a Line given points (-4, 5) and (3, -5)

Given Coordinates: x₁ = -4  y₁ = 5,  x₂ = 3  y₂ = -5
Slope Formula: m  =  
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m  =  m  =  m  =  m  =  –
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-4, 5) and (3, -5) is equal to  –

10/7

Note: As a decimal number,  –   ≈ -1.4285714285714
