Question

5.3.8

Writing What is the slope of the line which goes through the points (-3,-11) and (1,1)
The slope of the line is (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Answer 1

Slope = 3

Explanation:

Let (x1,y1) = (-3,-11) and (x2,y2) = (1,1)

Slope = y2-y1/(x2-x1)

1-(-11)/(1-(-3) = 12/4 = 3

Answer 2

3

Explanation:

`m=(rise)/(run)=(1+11)/(1+3)=(12)/(4)=\boxed{3}`

The slope of the line would be 3.

Hope this helps.
