Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-3,-8) and (5,6)

Answer 1

Slope is the change in Y over the change in X:

Slope = (6 - -8) / (5 - -3)

Slope = (6+8) / (5+3)

Slope = 14/8

Slope = 7/4

Answer 2

Answer:

7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Formula: y2-y1/x2-x1 = 6-(-8)/5-(-3) = 6+8/5+3 = 14/8 = 7/6
