Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (0, 4) and (−8, −1)?

Answer 1

\[y−y_1=m(x−x_1)\]
\[(y−y_1)/(x−x_1)=m\]

m = slope of line
(x,y) and (x1,y1) are the points

Answer 2

y - y1 = m(x-x1)
(y-y1) /(x-x1) = m

Answer 3

(4-(-1))/(0-(-8))=5/8

Answer 4

thanks everybody

Answer 5

anytime. :)
