Question

What is the slope of this line?

Answer 1

slope =
`(1)/(4)`

to calculate the slope m use the gradient formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (8, 8 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, 5 ) ← 2 poinys on the line

m =
`(5-8)/(-4-8)` =
`(-3)/(-12)` =
`(1)/(4)`

Answer 2

The slope is 1/4. Hope this helps
