Find the slope of the line that passes through (7, 8) and (5, 5).
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Using the points (7, 8) and (5, 5), we can substitute their coordinates into the formula:
slope = (5 - 8) / (5 - 7)
slope = -3 / -2
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
slope = 3/2
