Question

3)

Find the slope of a line that passes through (5,2) and (-3,-1).
A)
3/8
B)
-3/4
C)
-3/2
D)
2/3

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

`\boxed{slope = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2) }`

☆ (x₁, y₁) is the 1st coordinate and (x₂, y₂) is the 2nd coordinate

Thus, using the above formula,

`slope = (2 - ( - 1))/(5 - ( - 3))`

`slope = (2 + 1)/(5 + 3)`

`slope = (3)/(8)`
