Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the points named. C(3, 8), D(-2, 5) -3/5 3/5 5/3

Answer 1

the slope formula is y2-y1/x2-x1 so if you plug in the numbers you get 3/5. the slope is 3/5

Answer 2

Answer:
`(3)/(5)`

Explanation:

The slope of a line passing through two points X(a,b) and Y(c,d) is given by :-

`m=(d-b)/(c-a)`

Given points : C(3, 8) and D(-2, 5)

Then , the slope of a line passing through two points C(3, 8) and D(-2, 5) is given by :-

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

Hence, the slope of the line that contains the points C(3, 8) and D(-2, 5) is
`(3)/(5)`
