Question

1. What is the slope between the points (2,-5) and (8,3)? * Show work please

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sf m = \dfrac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, $\sf (x_1, ~ y_1)$ = (2, -5) and $\sf (x_2, ~ y_2)$ = (8, 3)

The slope formula is, $\sf m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$\sf m = \dfrac{3 - (-5)}{8 - 2}$

$\sf m = \dfrac{8}{6}$

$\bf m = \dfrac{4}{3}$
