Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (5, 4) and (13.25, -18) ?

A.) 83/3

B) 3/8

C) −3/8

D) 8/3

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: D. 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Formular for slope:

[ consider points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) ]

$slope = \frac{y_{2} - y _{1} }{x _{2} - x _{1} }$

x1 » 5, y1 » 4

x2 » 13.25, y2 » -18

$sloe = \frac{ - 18 - 4}{13.25 - 5} \\ \\ = \frac{22}{8.25} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{slope \: = \frac{8}{3} }}}$
