Use the slope formula
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (2 - 5)/(-23 - (-8))
m = (2 - 5)/(-23 + 8)
m = (-3)/(-15)
m = 1/5
m = 0.2
-------------------
The answer as a fraction is 1/5
In decimal form, this is equivalent to 0.2
To find the slope, use the slope formula and plug in the two points:
(-8,5) = (x₁ , y₁)
(-23,2) = (x₂ , y₂)
[tex]m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{2-5}{-23-(-8)}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{2-5}{-23+8}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{-3}{-15}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
