Question

How do you find the slope of a line passing through the points (-3,2) and (5,-8)?

Answer 1

`m=-10/8` or `-1.25`

Explanation:

To find the slop use of a line `(m)` from two points `(x_1, y_1)`and `(x_2, y_2)`, use the slope formula

`m = (y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2)`

Substituting in the values from the question

`m =(2- -8)/(-3-5)`

`m=-10/8` or `-1.25`
