The slope of a line with points (8, 42) and (3, 25) is -17/5
<h3>The first step in graphing data in a scatter plot</h3>
To graph a scatter plot, we simply determine the axis to plot each of the corresponding data
The axes are simply x and y axes
Hence, the first step in graphing data in a scatter plot is (d) Determine which axis corresponds to which data.
<h3>The slope of the line</h3>
The points are given as:
(8, 42) and (3, 25)
The slope of the line is calculated as:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
This gives
m = (25 - 42)/(3 - 8)
Evaluate
m = -17/5
Hence, the slope of a line with points (8, 42) and (3, 25) is -17/5
