Answer:
slope = - [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, - 5 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 1 )
m = [tex]\frac{-1-(-5)}{0-5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-1+5}{-5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{-5}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
