P(-3,1),Q(5,-2)Find the slopes of the lines passing through the given points

Answer» Let the Point P(-3,1),Q(5,-2) be P(x₁,y₁) and Q(x₂,y₂) RESPECTIVELY. 

Using the Formula of the Slope, 

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}  
⇒ m = (-2 - 1)/(5 + 3)
⇒ m = -3/8
∴ m = -3/8


Hence, the Slope of the LINE Passing through the POINTS P and Q is -3/8.


Hope it helps.
