Question

PLEASE HELP! DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS!! Find the slope of the line that passes through each pair of points.

(-2, -8) and (1, 4)

Answer 1

is there a link

Answer 2

The slope of the line through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by :
\(\huge m=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\)
now,just put the values and find m.

Answer 3

hartnn is correct...

slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-2,-8)..x1 = -2 and y1 = -8
(1,4)..x2 = 1 and y2 = 4
now just sub
slope(m) = (4 - (-8) / (1 - (-2)
slope(m) = (4 + 8) / (1 + 2)
can you finish ?

Answer 4

sorry did not see this until now

Answer 5

thats how you solve
