Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-4,8) and (-8,5)

Answer 1

`(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

Slope formula:

`\boxed{ slope = (y _(1) - y_2 )/(x_1 - x_2) }`

where (x₁, y₁) is the first coordinate and (x₂, y₂) is the second coordinate

Slope

`= (8 - 5)/( - 4 - ( - 8))`

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

`= (3)/(4)`
