Question

what is the slope of the line that connects the points (2,3) and (-4,8)

Answer 1

use the equation y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 2

Slope is given by \[y _{2} - y _{1} \div x _{2} - x _{1}\]

So the slope is -5/6

Answer 3

This is the equation by which you can find the slope
Make data that will help you alot :)
The first bracket will be x1 and y1 (2,3)
The second bracket is x2 and y2 (-4,8)
Data:
x1=2
x2=-4
y1=3
y2=8

y2-y1/x2-x1 = 8-3/-4-2 = 5/-6

So, the slope is -5/6
