There is a line between the points (2,3) and (5,5)
There is a line between the points (2,3) and (8,8)
There is a line between the points (5,5) and (8,8)
The definition of slope is (change in y)/(change in x)
For the 1st line:
slope =
For the 2nd line:
slope =
For the 3rd line:
slope =
The smallest slope is , since, using the LCD, the slopes are
, , and
