I never pay attention in class I have all Fs ✌🏼✌🏼
I like this person
Oooooohhhhh, sry. I wasn't paying attention. Sry. D?
Thx!
To find the slope of a line passing through two points, use the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, the given points are (-6, 8) and (2, 3). Let's assign the values as follows:
x1 = -6
y1 = 8
x2 = 2
y2 = 3
Plugging these values into the slope formula, we get:
m = (3 - 8) / (2 - (-6))
m = -5 / 8
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the given points is -5/8. So, the correct answer is D. -5/8.
