Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (2,-8) and (3,1)

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 -y1 = 1 -(-8) = 9

x2-x1 = 3-2 = 1

9/1

9

Answer 2

Answer:

         m = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of  line that passes through two points:  $m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

(2, -8)    ⇒    x₁ = 2,  y₁ = -8

(3, 1)      ⇒    x₂ = 3,  y₂ = 1

$\bold{m=\dfrac{1-(-8)}{2-2}=\dfrac{1+8}1=9}$
