Question

Choose the correct slope of the line that passes through the points (−4, 8) and (−3, −6)

Answer 1

The formula for slope is m=change in y/change in x. Plug in the values. m=(8-(-6))/(-4-(-3))

Answer 2

Remember this formula for points,

x1 = -4
x2 = -3

y1 = 8
y2 = -6

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

= (8-(-6)) / (-4-(-3))

= 14/(-1)

thus the slope is -14.
