Question

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

Answer 1

Find the gradient of the slope
y2-y1/x2-x1
Then use the equation
y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 2

\(\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}}}\)
