Question

What is the slope of the line through (-1,8) and (3,-4)?

Answer 1

Hey there!!

How do we find slopes ?

Slope =
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

We are given with two co-ordinates :

(-1,8) and (3,-4)

Hence, the slope is :

`(-4-8)/(3+1)`

...
`(-12)/(4)` = -3

The slope is -3.

Hope my answer helps!
