Answer 1

Given the points:

(x1, y1) ==> (8, 6)

(x2, y2) ==> (3, 15)

To find the slope of the line that passes through the points, use the slope formula below:

`slope,m\text{ = }(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Input the values into the formula:

`\begin{gathered} m=(15-6)/(3-8) \\ \\ m\text{ = }(9)/(-5) \\ \\ m=-(9)/(5) \end{gathered}`

The slope is an improper fraction

`-(9)/(5)`

ANSWER:

`-(9)/(5)`
