Question

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

7

−14

0

14

Answer 1

Do you know the formula which gives the slope?

Answer 2

slope = y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 3

Or in other words, slope is (change in y) divided by (change in x). Can you work it out now?

Answer 4

@Traxter thats all it says, i dont get it.
@k.rajabhishek I know, i don't get this problem

Answer 5

assume any one of the point be (x1,y1) and other be (x2,y2)
then substitute the values in equation

Answer 6

\[m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{8 - ^- 6}{-4 - ^-3} = \frac{8+6}{-4+3}= \frac{14}{-1} = -14\]
