Question

Calculate the slope of the line that passes through (8,5) and (6,2)

Answer 1

To find the slope we need two points and the formula

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

where (x2,y2) is a right point from (x1,y1) so x2>x1

now replacing

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{5-2}{8-6} \\ \\ m=\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}$

the slope is 3/2
