How do you find the slope of the line between point (-3,8) and point (3,5)? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer BRIAN M. May 31, 2016 m=-1/2m=−12 Explanation: The formula for slope is m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)m=y2−y1x2−x1 For the coordinate points (-3,8) and (3,5)(−3,8)and(3,5) x_1 = -3x1=−3 x_2 = 3x2=3 y_1 = 8y1=8 y_2 = 5y2=5 m = (5-8)/(3-(-3))m=5−83−(−3) m = -3/6m=−36 The slope is m =-1/2m=−12 Answer link Related questions What is Slope?
