Find the slope of the line that passes through (7,8) (5,5)
To find the slope of the line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), we can use the formula:
slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Plugging in the values from the given points, we have:
slope = (5 - 8) / (5 - 7)
= -3 / -2
= 3/2
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (7,8) and (5,5) is 3/2.
