Question

question 8 of 10 what is the slope of the line shown below? (8, 8) (5, 5) a. 1 b. -3 c. 3 d. -1

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope - formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$, where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are two points on the line.

Step2: Identify two points

We have the points $(x_1,y_1)=(5,5)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(8,8)$.

Step3: Substitute values

$m=\frac{8 - 5}{8 - 5}=\frac{3}{3}=1$.

Answer:

A. 1
