Question

Please help. if a line falls on the points (6,8) and (1,5) what is it’s slope?

Answer 1

m= 3/5.

Explanation:

The general equation of the line is:

(y - y0) = m ( x - x0), where "m" represents the slope is: (y1 - y0) / (x1 - x0).

From the statement we know that (x1, y1) = (6, 8) and (x0, y0) = (1,5)

Then the slope is:

m= (y1 - y0) / (x1 - x0) = (8 - 5)/(6 - 1) = 3/5.

The slope is 3/5
