Find the slope of the line that passes through (7, 8) and (5, 5).

the slope is 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(7,8) (5,5)

m = (5-8) / 5-7

m=3/2

Slope of the line is 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the slope of the line using the equation

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1); Here x1 = 7, y1 = 8, x2 = 5 and y2 = 5

⇒ m = (5 - 8) / (5 - 7)

= - 3/-2 = 3/2 = 1.5
