Question

Find the slope of the line passing through points P(8, -1), Q(0, -7).

¾

-4/3

-3/4

4/3

Answer 1

Same method as before, you trying figuring this out on your own. @perii224

Answer 2

Plug them in: (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

Answer 3

\(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

\(y_2 = -7\)
\(y_1 = -1\)

\(x_2 = 0\)
\(x_1 = 8\)

Plug them in and solve.

Answer 4

Can you do that? @perii224

Answer 5

I Tried.. I Got -1 /:

Answer 6

Nope.. I got something else.

Answer 7

\(m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \rightarrow m = \dfrac{-7 - (-1)}{0-8}\)

Now can you solve?

Answer 8

-6
___ = ? and then turn the ? into a fraction and that's your answer.
-8

Answer 9

Ok, I Got 0.75 Now

Answer 10

Yep, you goti t.

Answer 11

What is that written as a fraction ?

Answer 12

So -3/4

Answer 13

*it

Answer 14

Yes

Answer 15

No..not -3/4.

Answer 16

-3 / 4 = -0.75 not 0.75

Answer 17

Yup, I Got -0.75

Answer 18

Oops, no. Didn't see that - sign

Answer 19

-0.75 is incorrect

Answer 20

\(m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \rightarrow m = \dfrac{-7 - (-1)}{0-8} \rightarrow m = \dfrac{-6}{-8}\)

Now divide that, what do you get

Answer 21

get?*

Answer 22

Oh Okay, I See Now.

Answer 23

Okay, what did you get as the answer?
