Question

determine the slope of the line passing through each pair of points:
(8,-4) and (6,1)

Answer 1

Fidn teh slope of these points by using the equation:
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Then plug the slope in as "m" in the following equation:
(y-y1) = m(x-x1)
Plug in m
and then Pick one of the points to plug in as (x1,y1)

Solve =)

Answer 2

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


m=(1-(-4))/(6-8)


m=(1+4)/(6-8)


m=(5)/(6-8)


m=(5)/(-2)


m=-5/2

Answer 3

is that a fraction? or division?

Answer 4

it's the fraction \[\large -\frac{5}{2}\]
