Answer:

We conclude that the slope between the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, -1) and (-2, -5) is:

  • m = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

  • (-4, -1)
  • (-2, -5)

Using the slope formula to determine the slope between (-4, -1) and (-2, -5)

[tex]\:m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

where [tex]m[/tex] is the slope between (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)

In our case,

  • (x₁, y₁) = (-4, -1)
  • (x₂, y₂) = (-2, -5)

substituting (x₁, y₁) = (-4, -1) and (x₂, y₂) = (-2, -5) in the slope-formula

[tex]\:m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{-5-\left(-1\right)}{-2-\left(-4\right)}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{-4}{2}[/tex]

Refine

[tex]m=-2[/tex]

Therefore, the slope between the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, -1) and (-2, -5) is:

  • m = -2
