Question

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

Answer 1

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

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

m = -5 / -8

m = 5/8 <-----

So, [4-(-1)]/[0-(-8)] = [4+1]/[0+8]=5/8

Answer 2

Lol I had -5/8 i was close

Answer 3

What is the slope of the line whose equation is –48 = 2x − 8y?
