Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points (8, 3) and (2, 9)

Answer 1

-1

Explanation:

Slope is change in y divided by change in x. Or y2-y1 divided by x2 minus x1. So 9-3/2-8 is 6/-6 which is -1. So slope is -1

Answer 2

`\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer☂}}`

let's find the value of slope of line passing through given points ~

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: (9 - 3)/(2 - 8)`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: (6)/( - 6)`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: - 1`

Therefore, the required slope is -1
