Question

Find the slope of the line containing the points (3,9) (5,8)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points on a line, we can find the slope from

y = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

 = (8-9)/(5-3)

  =-1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$slope=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\=\frac{8-9}{5-3}\\\\=\frac{-1}{2}$
