Determine the slope of the line passing through the points (5, 8) and (-3, 10).

1. -1/2
2. -1/4
3. 1/2
4. -4

Answer:

The answer is option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

[tex]m = \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1} \\ [/tex]

From the question we have

[tex]m = \frac{10 - 8}{ - 3 - 5} = \frac{2}{ - 8} = - \frac{2}{8} = - \frac{1}{4} \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

[tex] - \frac{1}{4} \\ [/tex]

Hope this helps you
