Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (2, 5) and (8, 3)? (1 point)The fraction one third
The fraction negative one third
3
–3

please help im new to this and I will fan medal and greatly appreciate :)

Answer 1

y2-y1/x2-x1 is the formula you need to use, so it should look like this:

3-5/8-2= -2/6= -1/3

Answer 2

The formula to find the slope of a linear line is (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

So plug in your values...
(5 - 3)/(2 - 8) = 2/-6

Simplify...
2/-6 = 1/-3 (rise/run)

And there you go (: Easy peasy.
