Question

Find the slope of the line passing through points A(1, -2), F(4, -8).

2
-2
½
-1/2

Answer 1

The slope formula is

y2-y1/x2-x1

The coordinates of point A will be (x1, y1), and the coordinates of point F will be (x2, y2)

Plug in your coordinates
(-8--2)/(4-1)

When you subtract a negative, it is the same thing as adding a positive, so now you have

-6/3 = -2

Answer 2

thats a good way to explain it XD
