Question

Determine the slope of a line containing the points

C (1,8) and D (3, 3). Write your answer in the form of a
fraction.

Answer 1

-5/2

Explanation:

the answer is

Answer 2

The answer is

`- (5)/(2)`

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

`m = (y _(2) -y _(1))/(x _(2) - x _(1))`

where

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

From the question the points are

C (1,8) and D (3, 3)

The slope is

`m = (3 - 8)/(3 - 1) = ( - 5)/(2)`

We have the final answer as

`- (5)/(2)`

Hope this helps you
