Danielle Carey · Answer 1

The slope is : - 1.5

Victoria Walls · Answer 2

The slope would be - 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the numerator of the slope you would do - 8 - (-5) to get - 3. To get the denominator, you would do 3-1 to get 2. That would leave you with the final answer of slope - 3/2.
