Question

Find the slope of the line that passes

through (5,8) and (10,5). Simplify your
answer and write it as an improper
fraction, proper fraction or an integer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

the slope is the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point to the other.

x changes by +5 (from 5 to 10).

y changes by -3 (from 8 to 5).

so, the slope is -3/5
