Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through points (3,5) and (2,8)?

Answer 1

Hello!

Explanation:

`Slope=(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)=(RISE)/(RUN)`

`(8-5)/(2-3)=(3)/(-1)=-3`

Therefore, the slope is -3 which is our final answer.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)

Answer 2

-3

Explanation:

to find slope (m), use the following equation:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Solve. Note that:

(x₁ , y₁) = (3 , 5)

(x₂ , y₂) = (2 , 8)

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables.

m = (8 - 5)/(2 - 3)

Simplify.

m = (3)/(-1)

m= -3

-3 is your slope (Rise 3, Run -1 => remember that the answer is (rise/run) => (3/-1))
