The slope is $\frac{1}{5}$ $1/5$ .

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

$\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $(y_2−y_1)/ (x_2−x_1)$

Substitute the variables for numbers to get our answer:

$y_{2} = 8$ $y_2=8$
$y_{1} = 9$ $y_1=9$
$x_{2} = - 2$ $x_2=−2$
$x_{1} = 3$ $x_1=3$

$\frac{8 - 9}{- 2 - 3} = \frac{- 1}{- 5} = \frac{1}{5}$ $(8-9)/(-2-3)=(-1)/-5=1/5$

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