Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (­-8, ­-3) and (2, 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 is the slope passing through (-8,-3) and (2,3). use slope formula m=y^2-y^1/x^2-x^1

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope is 3/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula:

$\displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{rise}{run}$

$\displaystyle \frac{3-(-3)}{2-(-8)}=\frac{6}{10}=\frac{6\div2}{10\div2}=\frac{3}{5}$

Therefore, the slope is 3/5, and the correct answer is 3/5.
