I need help just checking my work here. thanks

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

Welcome to OpenStudy! What do you think the answer is?

Answer 2

I believe A) 7 ?

Answer 3

How did you get A?

Answer 4

well its there some how i can graph it out so i can work it out? :)

Answer 5

With slope it's just a simple formula

Answer 6

i am willing to learn to do what it takes to work it out

Answer 7

Do you know the slope formula?

Answer 8

No :)

Answer 9

That is the only thing needed for this, well, and you should know how to add and subtract :P
\(\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_2}\)

Answer 10

ok thanks :)

Answer 11

Now, do you know how to substitute the given points into that formula?

Answer 12

Also to know what numbers to plug into the slope formula, you need the two points which are

\(\sf\Large (x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)\)

And you plug in the values into that and you just solve it :D

Answer 13

into that = into the slope formula

Answer 14

\[\frac{ -6-8 }{ -3-(-4) }\]
