Find the slope of the line that contains (1, 5) and (3, 8).

If the slope is not an integer, enter it is a fraction in simplest form. Do not enter a mixed number. Remember, a fraction in simplest form never contains a negative sign in the denominator. If the slope is undefined, “undefined” should be entered.

Answer:

The slope is 3 / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the slope is:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Point (1, 5) is (x1, y1) and point (3, 8) is (x2, y2). Now we substitute in the slope formula:

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

m = 3 / 2

So the slope of the line that contains the points is 3/2
