To find the slope of a line passing through two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), you use the formula:
( \text{Slope} = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} )
Given the points (-2, -4) and (-5, 2):
( x1 = -2 ), ( y1 = -4 ) ( x2 = -5 ), ( y2 = 2 )
Substitute these values into the formula:
( \text{Slope} = \frac{2 - (-4)}{-5 - (-2)} )
( \text{Slope} = \frac{2 + 4}{-5 + 2} )
( \text{Slope} = \frac{6}{-3} )
( \text{Slope} = -2 )
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-2, -4) and (-5, 2) is -2.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
