Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the pair of points or state that the slope is undefined.(9, 8) and (5, 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=\frac{5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is represented by the following equation given the two points:

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \end{gathered}$

Therefore, for the given points (9,8) and (5,3):

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{8-3}{9-5} \\ m=\frac{5}{4} \end{gathered}$
