Find the slope of the line that passes through (1, 5) and (3, 8).
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) can be found using the formula:
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
In this case, the two points are (1, 5) and (3, 8).
Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:
m = (8 - 5) / (3 - 1)
= 3 / 2
Therefore, the slope of the line is 3/2.
