Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points $C(3,5)$ and $D(-2,-3)$.

Answer 1

Slope of line passing through $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Hence slope of line passing through $(3,5)$ and $(-2,-3)$ is

$=\frac{-3-5}{-2-3}=\frac{-8}{-5}=\frac{8}{5}$
