Question

Find the slope m of the line that passes through the points (3, –8) and (–7, –4).

Answer 1

well, to find the slope based on two point, you follow this formular
m = \[\frac{ {y_2}-{y_1} }{ {x_2}-{x_1}}\]
m is the slope
so \[\frac{ -4 - 3 }{ -7-(-8) }\]
= \[\frac{ -7 }{ 1 }\]
= -7
your slope is -7
