Determine the slope of the line passing through each pair of points
(8,-3) (2,5)
The slope formula is m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29, m=slope, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the given points.
(x1,y1)=(8,-3) and (x2,y2)=(2,5)
m=%285-%28-3%29%29%2F%282-8%29
m=8%2F-6
highlight%28m=-4%2F3%29
Happy Calculating!!!
