Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points (8, 3) and (2, 9)

Answer 1

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is change in y divided by change in x. Or y2-y1 divided by x2 minus x1. So 9-3/2-8 is 6/-6 which is -1. So slope is -1

Answer 2

$\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer☂}}$

let's find the value of slope of line passing through given points ~

$\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: \dfrac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

$\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: \dfrac{9 - 3}{2 - 8}$

$\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: \dfrac{6}{ - 6}$

$\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: - 1$

Therefore, the required slope is -1
