Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points 2, 5 and −8, 4.

Answer 1

10 is going to be the correct answer

Answer 2

10.

Explanation:

1) formula of the required slope is:

`slpoe=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1);`

2) according to the formula above:

`slope=(2+8)/(5-4)=10.`

P.S. x₁=2; x₂=-8; y₁=5; y₂=4.
