Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (3, 8) and (-2, 5).

Answer 1

Hi there! :)

Explanation:

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

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

Slope is 3/5.

Final answer is 3/5.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)

:D

Thank you!

Answer 2

Going from (-2,5) to (3,8), x increases by 5 and y increases by 3. Thus, the slope of the line passing thru these two points is m = rise / run = 3/5.
