Question

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

A:7

B:-14

C:0

D:14

Answer 1

\[\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]
canyou put the points in that form where -4=x1
y1=8
x2=-3
y2=-6

Answer 2

ok what next im a little confused

Answer 3

Hello

Answer 4

\[\frac{ -6-8 }{ -3+4 }\]

Answer 5

can you simplify that

Answer 6

-14 over 1

Answer 7

So just -14

Answer 8

now can you simplify \[-\frac{ 14 }{ 1 }\]

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

ohh ok thanks

Answer 11

do you understand how we did that?

Answer 12

easier than expected

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

yes when you're given 2 points and it asks for slope put it in
\[\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]form this is slope-intercept

Answer 15

? didn't you already do that

Answer 16

yes i'm just telling you thats slope intercept form the points are always placed in
(x1,y1)(x2,y2)

Answer 17

ohh ok i learned that i was just over thinking the problem

Answer 18

Thank you for your help :3

Answer 19

you're welcome
