Question

Line AB contains points A (3, −2) and B (1, 8). The slope of line AB is −5 negative 1 over 5 1 over 5 5

Answer 1

Slope = (8+2)/(1 - 3) = 10/-2 = -5
answer
 −5 

Answer 2

Answer: -5

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$\text{Slope}=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}$

Then the slope of the line AB contains points A (3, −2) and B (1, 8) will be :-

$\text{Slope}=\dfrac{8-(-2)}{1-(3)}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Slope}=\dfrac{10}{-2}-5$

Hence, the slope of the line AB contains points A (3, −2) and B (1, 8) = -5
