PLEASE HELP BRAIBLIST ANSWER PLS

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points:
$(5,3),(8,-6)$

1. Find the slope

The slope of a line between two points equals the change in the points' y-coordinates (rise) over the change in their x-coordinates (run).

The coordinates of point 1 are: $x_1=5,y_1=3$

The coordinates of point 2 are: $x_2=8,y_2=-6$

To find the slope, plug the points' x and y-coordinates into the formula and combine to simplify:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{-6-3}{8-5}$

$m=\frac{-9}{3}$

$m=-3$
