Given the points:
(x1, y1) ==> (8, 6)
(x2, y2) ==> (3, 15)
To find the slope of the line that passes through the points, use the slope formula below:
[tex]slope,m\text{ = }\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]Input the values into the formula:
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{15-6}{3-8} \\ \\ m\text{ = }\frac{9}{-5} \\ \\ m=-\frac{9}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]The slope is an improper fraction
[tex]-\frac{9}{5}[/tex]ANSWER:
[tex]-\frac{9}{5}[/tex]
