Question

Determine the slope of the line passing through the points (5, 8) and (-3, 10).

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1}$

From the question we have

$m = \frac{10 - 8}{ - 3 - 5} = \frac{2}{ - 8} = - \frac{2}{8} = - \frac{1}{4}$

We have the final answer as

$- \frac{1}{4}$

Hope this helps you
