Answer 1

did you calculate the slope?

Answer 2

Yea it's 3/10

Answer 3

then go with D

Answer 4

Well i wanna know for sure

Answer 5

yep you guys are correct

Answer 6

Can you explain? @Taylor0402

Answer 7

Might be a bit late but

To find a slope:
y2-y1
--------
x2-x1

So,
-3 -(-6) 3
---------- = ---
2-(-8) 10

Answer 8

@lilkg77 therefore, it's D
