Question

Find the slope of the line through the following points
(3,-20) and (5,8)
m =

Answer 1

Answer: m=14

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we use the formula $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$. Since we are given 2 points, we can use those points to plug in.

$m=\frac{8-(-20)}{5-3} =\frac{28}{2} =14$

Our slope is m=14.
