Question

How do you find the slope of the line between point (-3,8) and point (3,5)?

Answer 1

`m=-1/2`

Explanation:

The formula for slope is

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

For the coordinate points `(-3,8) and (3,5)`
`x_1 = -3`
`x_2 = 3`
`y_1 = 8`
`y_2 = 5`

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

`m = -3/6`

The slope is `m =-1/2`
