Question

What is the slope of the line shown below??
​

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

We can find the slope using the slope formula, which is
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

The order of the points doesn't matter, but the points that are farthest right (8, 8) can be our y2 and x2 and the points that are farthest left (5, 5) can be our y1 and x1.

Thus, we have
`(8-5)/(8-5)=(3)/(3)=1`
