Question

Find the slope of the line (-5,-3) and (3,1)

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1-(-3)/3-(-5)

=4/8

=1/2

Answer 2

Answer : Y= 1/2x + 1/2

Step by step explanation:

First, you would use the formula m= (Y sub 2 -Y sub 1) / ( X sub 2 - X sub 1).

You would sub in the values (1 + 3) / (3 + 5)

You would get the slope of 1/2.

Then you would sub in one coordinate point (either one works) let us just use (3,1).

Your equation would be 1= 1/2(3) + b

Your b value would be also 1/2.

Therefore, your slope of the line would be y= 1/2x + 1/2
