Question

What is the slope of the line that contains these points?

Answer 1

2/-5

Explanation:

Answer 2

The slope is -
`(2)/(5)`

Explanation:

The slope formula:
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Choose any 2 points for (x1, y1) and (x2, y2):

(x1, y1) will be (31, 10)

(x2, y2) will be (36, 8)

Plug in the values:

`(8-10)/(36-31)`

simplify:

`(-2)/(5)`

The slope is -
`(2)/(5)`
