Given:
(2, 8)
(0, 3)
x1 = 2
x2 = 0
y1= 8
y2 = 3
Find the slope of the line.
Formula for the slope of the line:
m = change in y/ change in x
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Solution:
Substitute the given values to the formula for the slope of the line.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (3 - 8)/(0 - 2)
m = (-5)/(-2)
m = 5/2
Final answer:
The slope of the line = 5/2
