What is the slope of the line passing through (-3, 5) and (5, -3)? a) slope = -1 b) slope = 0 c) slope = 1 d) no slope need !

m = -1 (answer A)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need the slope of the line segment connecting (-3, 5) and (5, -3).  As you know, slope = rise / run.  Here the rise (change in y) as we go from (-3, 5) to (5, -3) is -8 and the run is 8.  Thus, the slope is m = -8/8 = 1 (answer A).
