Question

The points (6,8) and (5,5) fall on a particular line.

Answer 1

The answer is be!! now you know 

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope of the line passing through these points is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

A first order function is given by the following formula:

$y = ax + b$

In which a is the slope.

In this problem, we have that:

The line passes through the point (5,5). This means that when x = 5, y = 5. So

$5a + b = 5$

$b = 5 - 5a$

The line also passes through the point (6,8). This means that when x = 6, y = 8. So:

$6a + b = 8$

$b = 5 - 5a$

So

$6a + 5 - 5a = 8$

$a = 3$

The slope of the line passing through these points is 3.
