(8, -2), (1, -7)

Answer 1

Slope of a line passing through the points (x1,y1) & (x2,y2) is
\[\Large Slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\]

Answer 2

Can you tell me what is x1,x2,y1 & y2 here?

Answer 3

@Diyadiya is of course right, but with some practice you can do it in your head.
from 1 to 8 is ____ units to the right
from -7 to -2 is ____ units up

then compare up to over by division
