Question

Using the slope formula find the slope of the line that passes through these points (2,5) and (8,-3)

Answer 1

-4/3

Explanation:

You can use rise/run. The rise (y values) goes from 5 to -3. You subtract 8 for this. The run (x values) goes from 2 to 8. You add 6 for this. the proportion is -8/6, which can be simplified to -4/3.

Therefore, the slope is -4/3!

Hope I helped!!!!!!

Answer 2

-4/3

Explanation:

The formula for slope is [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ].

-3-5/8-2

-8/6

-4/3

Best of Luck!
