Question

Somebody Please help!!!

Answer 1

Slope, m = -8

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Points on x-axis (x1, x2) = (2, 3)

Points on y-axis (y1, y2) = (5, -3)

To find the slope, m;

Mathematically, slope is given by the formula;

`Slope = (Change \; in \; y \; axis)/(Change \; in \; x \; axis)`

`Slope, m = \frac {y_(2) - y_(1)}{x_(2) - x_(1)}`

Substituting into the equation, we have;

`Slope, m = \frac {-3 - 5}{3 - 2}`

`Slope, m = \frac {-8}{1}`

Slope, m = -8/1

Slope, m = -8
