Answer:

The slope of a line that passes through the points (5,3) and (-1,-2) is [tex]-\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the slope using the formula [tex]\frac{y2-y1 }{x2-x1}[/tex] which in this case would be [tex]\frac{-2-(-3)}{-1-5}[/tex]. Since there are two negatives next to each other in the numerator, this becomes addition, and you get [tex]\frac{1}{-6}[/tex].
