Question

What is the slope of the line below.? With the coordinates (8,8) and (5,5)

Answer 1

To find slope, use the equation:

(y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = slope

Let:

(8,8) = (x₂, y₂)

(5,5) = (x₁, y₁)

Plug numbers into corresponding areas.

(8 - 5)/(8-5) = 3/3

3/3 = 1

The slope of the line is 1, or 1/1 (rise 1, run 1)

hope this helps
