Question 58371
Find the slope of the line passing through the points (–8, –3) and (–2, 2).
The formula for finding the slope when given two points is: {{{highlight(m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1))}}}
(x1,y1)=(-8,-3) and (x2,y2)=(-2,2)
{{{m=(2-(-3))/(-2-(-8))}}}
{{{m=(2+3)/(-2+8)}}}
{{{m=5/6}}}
Happy Calculating!!!
