Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points and .

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{7}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, - 3 )

m = $\frac{-3-4}{8-3}$ = $\frac{-7}{5}$ = - $\frac{7}{5}$
