Question

What is the slope of the line with points (3, 5) and (8, 2)?

Answer 1

-3/5

Explanation:

To find slope we use the formula, slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

We let (3,5) be the first point so, x1 = 3 and y1 = 5

We let (8,2) be the second point so, x2 = 8 and y2 = 2

Now we plug it in the formula,

slope = (2-5)/(8-3) = -3/5
