Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the following points.
(2.10) and (5.8)

Answer 1

`-(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

the value of the required slope can be calculated from:

`s=(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2);`

`s=(10-8)/(2-5);`

finally,

`s=-(2)/(3).`

Note, the suggested option is not the only one.
