Question

Find the slope of the line through the following points
(3,-20) and (5,8)
m =

Answer 1

Answer: m=14

Explanation:

To find the slope, we use the formula
`m=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`. Since we are given 2 points, we can use those points to plug in.

`m=(8-(-20))/(5-3) =(28)/(2) =14`

Our slope is m=14.
