Question

Find the slope of the line through points

(-8,2) and (1,3).
Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

The answer is

`\huge (1)/(9) \\`

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) \\`

From the question we have

`m = (3 - 2)/(1 - - 8) = (1)/(1 + 8) = (1)/(9) \\`

We have the final answer as

`(1)/(9) \\`
