Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (0, 4) and (–8, –1)

Answer 1

we can move the set so that one of them is at the origin ... i would suggest the 0,4

(0, 4) and (–8, –1)
+4 +4
------------------
0,0 -8, 3
now we can easily read the slope from this
point as: y/x

Answer 2

lol, forgot how to subtract ...

Answer 3

0, 4) and (–8, –1)
-4 -4
------------------
0,0 -8, -5

Answer 4

slope formula: m = [y1 - y2] / [x1 - x2]
m = (4+1)/ (0+8) = 5/8

Answer 5

slope is 5/8
