Question 68342: Find the slope of the line passing through the points (–8, –3) and (–2, 2).
Answer by Earlsdon(6294)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You can find the slope, m, of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) by using the slope formula:
In this problem, (-8, -3) = (x1, y1) and (-2, 2) = (x2, y2)
Making the appropriate substitutions into the formula, we get:
 Simplifying this:
 This is the slope.
