Question

What is the slope of the line through the points (-3,-8) and (0,-2)? m=_?_
(Write only the value of the slope in the answer blank, do not use any variables.)

Answer 1

m = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

m = $(y_{2} - y_{1} ) / (x_{2} - x_{1})$

Here, $(x_{1} ,y{1} ) =(-3 ,-8)$

          $(y_{1} ,y_{2} ) = (0,-2)$

Step 2:

m = $(-2+8)/(0+3) = 2$
