Question

1. what is the slope of the line that passes through the points m(-2,8) and n(2,3)? enter the correct answer in the box below.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope formula

The slope formula between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$.

Step2: Identify the points' coordinates

Here, $x_1=-2,y_1 = 8,x_2=2,y_2 = 3$.

Step3: Substitute values into formula

$m=\frac{3 - 8}{2-(-2)}=\frac{-5}{4}$.

Answer:

$-\frac{5}{4}$
