Question

Input the equation of the given line in standard form.

The line including the two points (5, 3), (8, -2)

anonymous · Answer

(5,3)(8,−2)

Slope is equal to the change in y over the change in x, or 'rise over run'. 

m=change  in  ychange  in  x

The change in x is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in y is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise). 

m=y2−y1x2−x1

Substitute in the values of x and y into the equation to find the slope. 

m=−2−(3)8−(5)

Simplify.
