Question

Line AB contains points A (3, −2) and B (1, 8). The slope of line AB is −5 negative 1 over 5 1 over 5 5

Answer 1

slope = (8+2)/(1 - 3) = 10/-2 = -5
answer
−5

Answer 2

Answer: -5

Explanation:

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

`\text{Slope}=(d-b)/(c-a)`

Then the slope of the line AB contains points A (3, −2) and B (1, 8) will be :-

`\text{Slope}=(8-(-2))/(1-(3))\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Slope}=(10)/(-2)-5`

Hence, the slope of the line AB contains points A (3, −2) and B (1, 8) = -5
