Ren designs a V-shaped ramp for a bike jump. On the grid, the vertex is (-3, -5) and the ramp passes through (1, 3). What is the slope of the right side?
Coordinate grid, all four quadrants, each square one unit, -10 to 10 on both axes. The V is drawn with the vertex (-3, -5) and the point (1, 3) marked. Table y = |x| | ramp: (0, 0) | (-3, -5); (4, 4) | (1, 3). Coordinate grid, all four quadrants, each square one unit, -10 to 10 on both axes. The V is drawn with the vertex (-3, -5) and the point (1, 3) marked. Table y = |x| | ramp: (0, 0) | (-3, -5); (4, 4) | (1, 3).
