Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-8, 7) and (-4, -5)?
A) -3
B) 1/3
C) 3
D) -1/3

Answer 1

Are you familiar with the formula that solves these?

Answer 2

\[slope of the line=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]

Answer 3

whoops so slope is m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) or rise/run so (-5-7)/(-4-8) solve and you have your answer.

Answer 4

@surjithayer @Rhystic Thank you, its been quite awhile since I've worked on problems like this, I know how to solve it now, Appreciate the help

Answer 5

\[m=\frac{ -5-7 }{ -4-(-8) }\]

Answer 6

@surjithayer I got 3/1 which is 3

Answer 7

-12/4=-3
