Okay, what you need to do is use that and graph it. OR you can just imaging it in your head

If slope is rise over run, then all you need to do is find the distance between the y1 and y2 intercept, and the x1 and x2 intercept.

jadeishere · Answer

8, -1    0, -7

the rise would be along the y axis, and the run over the x axis

the difference between 8 and 0 is 8, so the run is 8

the difference between -1 and -7
is 6

8/6 (then simplify)

the slope is 4/3 

Hope that heps >.<
