How do you find the slope of #(3, 9), (-2, 8) #?

1 Answer

Aug 18, 2016

The slope is #1/5#.

Explanation:

To find the slope, we're going to use this equation:

#(y_2−y_1)/ (x_2−x_1)#

Substitute the variables for numbers to get our answer:

#y_2=8#
#y_1=9#
#x_2=−2#
#x_1=3#

#(8-9)/(-2-3)=(-1)/-5=1/5#
