Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points(−8,2) and (-11, 3)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Slope is found by taking the change in Y over the change in X (as a fraction)
Y= 3-2=1
X= -11-(-8)= -3

Your slope is (- 1/3)

Answer 2

Answer: -1/3

Explanation:

The formula is y2 - y1/ x2 - x1 . So the answer would be -1/3 bc 3 - 2 = 1 and -11 - (-8) = -3.
