The slope of the line that passes through the points (8, -6) and (5,−1) is -5/3.
We have given that,
The slope of the line that passes through the points (8, -6) and (5,−1).
To determine the slope of the given points.
To find the slope of the two points,
What is the formula for the slope?
use the formula: Y2-Y1/X2-X1
(8, -6)
Therefore, -1 is Y2, -6 is Y1,
So that will be our numerator in this equation
(5,−1)
5 is X2, 8 is X1, so that will be our denominator in this equation
So our equation becomes, -1+6/5-8 (Two negative signs create a positive so instead of -6 it becomes +6)
When we solve this, we get 5/-3
So our slope is -5/3.
Therefore the slope of the given point is -5/3.
