Determine the slope of the line passing through the points (9,8) and (1,3).
slope =

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

slope: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

(3 - 8) / (1 - 9) = -5/-8 = 5/8

m= 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be found using the following formula:

where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the points the line passes through.

The points given are: (1,3) and (9,8). Therefore,

Substitute the values into the formula.

Perform the operation in the numerator. Subtract 3 from 8.

Perform the operation in the denominator. Subtract 1 from 9.

The slope of the line is 5/8
