Question

How do you find the slope of (3, 5) and (-2, -3)?

Answer 1

gradient is `8/5`

Explanation:

Difference in `y` values divided by the difference in `x` values

`[5- -3]/[3- -2]=8/5`

Answer 2

`"slope "=8/5`

Explanation:

`"to calculate the slope m use the "color(blue)"gradient formula"`

`•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`"let "(x_1,y_1)=(3,5)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(-2,-3)`

`m=(-3-5)/(-2-3)=(-8)/(-5)=8/5`
