Question

what is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points? the points are (8/5,1/8),(-8/5,2/7)

Answer 1

Explanation:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(8/5,1/8).....x1 = 8/5 and y1 = 1/8

(-8/5, 2/7)...x2 = -8/5 and y2 = 2/7

now we sub

slope = (2/7 - 1/8) / (-8/5 - 8/5) =

(16/56 - 7/56) / (-16/5) =

(9/56) / (-16/5) =

9/56 * - 5/16 =

- 45 / 896 <=====
