Question

Find the slope of a line that goes through (4, 5) and (3,8).
m =

Answer 1

-3/1

Explanation:

(3,8) 4,5)

5-8 divided into 4-3

-3/1

Mark the point (3,8) on the coordinate plan on graph paper. Then go 3 down,1 right, and you'll reach (4,5) (from left to right, from 3,8 to 4,5)

3 down means negative 3

1 right means positive 1

Answer 2

use formula y2-y1/x2-x1

Explanation:

=8-5/3-4

=3/-1

=-3
