Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through (1, -5) and (3, -8)?

Answer 1

The slope would be -3/2

Explanation:

To get the numerator of the slope you would do -8-(-5) to get -3. To get the denominator, you would do 3-1 to get 2. That would leave you with the final answer of slope -3/2.
