Question

what is the slope of the line below? If necessary, enter your answer as a fraction in lowest terms, using the slash as the fraction bar. Do not enter your answer as a decimal number or an equation. (8, 8) (5, 5)​

Answer 1

The slope is again 1

Explanation:

Because x1 and x2 is 5 and 8, and y1 and y2 are 5 and 8, the slope equation becomes 5-8 / 5-8, which would turn into -3 /-3, or 1.

Answer 2

Answer: 1

Step-by-step explanation: In algebra, we use the word slope to describe how steep a line is and slope can be found using the ratio rise over run between any two points that are on that line.

So for the line you see here, we will use the two points that are given.

Starting at the point (5,5), we will rise 3 units and run 3 units

in order to get to our second point, (8, 8).

This means that the slope or rise over run is 3/3.

However, 3/3 can be reduced to 1.

So the slope of this line is 1.
