Answer: Choice C) 2/5
===========================================================
Explanation:
Point L is located at (-8, 1) while P is at the point (7,7)
Let's apply the slope formula for these two points
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (7-1)/(7-(-8))
m = (7-1)/(7+8)
m = 6/15
m = (3*2)/(3*5)
m = 2/5 is the slope of line LP
A slope of 2/5 means that each time you go up vertically 2 units (rise), you move to the right 5 units (run). In short, it's "up 2, over to the right 5". A positive slope means we move upward as we move from left to right.
