Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the points named. C(3, 8), D(-2, 5) -3/5 3/5 5/3

Answer 1

The slope formula is y2-y1/x2-x1 so if you plug in the numbers you get 3/5. the slope is 3/5

Answer 2

Answer: $\dfrac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line passing through two points X(a,b) and Y(c,d) is given by :-

$m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}$

Given points : C(3, 8) and  D(-2, 5)

Then , the  slope of a line passing through two points C(3, 8) and  D(-2, 5) is given by :-

$m=\dfrac{5-8}{-2-3}=\dfrac{-3}{-5}=\dfrac{3}{5}$

Hence, the  slope of the line that contains the points C(3, 8) and  D(-2, 5) is $\dfrac{3}{5}$
