Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-8,-3) and (2, 3)

0
1
3/5
5/3

Answer 1

The answer is

`(3)/(5)`

Explanation:

To find the slope passing through two points we use the formula

`m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

Where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) and ( x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-8,-3) and (2, 3)

So the slope is

`m = (3 + 3)/(2 + 8) = (6)/(10) = (3)/(5)`

Hope this helps you
