Question

What is the slope of the line containing (-1,8) and (3, -12)?

Answer 1

-5

Explanation:

We can find the slope since we have two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-12-8)/(3 - -1)

= (-12-8)/(3+1)

= -20/4

= -5

Answer 2

-5

Explanation:

We can find the slope since we have two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-12-8)/(3 - -1)

= (-12-8)/(3+1)

= -20/4

= -5
