Question

bor 2: finding slope determine the slope of each line given the following information. write your answer in the boxes provided.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify points for first line

Choose two points on the left line: $(-10, 5)$ and $(0, -5)$

Step2: Calculate slope for first line

Use slope formula $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
$\frac{-5-5}{0-(-10)}=\frac{-10}{10}=-1$

Step3: Identify points for second line

Choose two points on the right line: $(0, 0)$ and $(-5, -5)$

Step4: Calculate slope for second line

Use slope formula $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
$\frac{-5-0}{-5-0}=\frac{-5}{-5}=1$

Answer:

Left line slope: $-1$
Right line slope: $1$
