Question

What is the slope of the line that passes the points (-8, 7) and (16, 22)

Answer 1

slope =
`(5)/(8)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 8, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (16, 22)

m =
`(22-7)/(16+8)` =
`(15)/(24)` =
`(5)/(8)`
