What is the slope of the line that passes through the points

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (5, 8) and (3,8)?
A. 2
B. ½
C. ½
D. 2

Solution

Note that

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

Here,

(x1, y1) = (-5, -8)
(x2, y2) = (3, 8)

Hence,

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

= 16/8

= 2 [ANSWER, OPTION A]
