Question

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

7

-14

0

14

Answer 1

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
&({\color{red}{ -4}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 8}})\quad &({\color{red}{ -3}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ -6}})
\end{array}
\\\quad \\

slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}}{{\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}}}\)

Answer 2

I think that it is -14

Answer 3

im thinking the same thing, @jdoe0001 i got -14 for the top -7 for the bottom but idk what to do from there

Answer 4

no -3-(-4) would be 1 since subtracting a negative turns it to a positive

Answer 5

\(\bf slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{\color{blue}{ -6}}-{\color{blue}{ 8}}}{{\color{red}{ -3}}-{\color{red}{ -4}}}\implies \cfrac{-14}{-3+4}\implies \cfrac{-14}{1}\)

Answer 6

im gunna go with your -14 answer
