Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (7, 8) and (5, 5).

Answer 1

the slope is 3/2

Explanation:

(7,8)(5,5)

m=(5-8)/5-7

m=3/2

Answer 2

Slope of the line is 1.5

Explanation:

• Step 1: Find the slope of the line using the equation

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1); Here x1 = 7, y1 = 8, x2 = 5 and y2 = 5

⇒ m = (5 - 8)/(5 - 7)

= -3/-2 = 3/2 = 1.5
