Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the pair of points or state that the slope is undefined.(9, 8) and (5, 3)

Answer 1

`m=(5)/(4)`

Explanation:

The slope of a line is represented by the following equation given the two points:

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \end{gathered}`

Therefore, for the given points (9,8) and (5,3):

`\begin{gathered} m=(8-3)/(9-5) \\ m=(5)/(4) \end{gathered}`
