Answer 1

Please help owl office . Thanks

Answer 2

The slope of any line is defined by the difference between the y-coordinates of the points divided the difference between the x-coordinates, so, the formula looks like this:
\[m _{ab}=\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{x_2-x_1 }\]
So, applying it for the points:
\[m=\frac{ 4-(-4) }{ 3-(-1) }\]
So, all you have to do is operate the fraction and see what you obtain as a result.

Answer 3

6.3 ?

Answer 4

Not really, first off you have to operate the multiplication of negatives on both the numerator and denominator:
\[m=\frac{ 4-(-4) }{ 3-(-1) }\]
\[m=\frac{ 4+4 }{ 3+1 }\]

Answer 5

so is that the answer ? ^

Answer 6

No, you have to sum 4+4 and divide it by 4.

Answer 7

2

Answer 8

that's correct.

Answer 9

so m=2

Answer 10

?

Answer 11

Yes.

Answer 12

Thanks

Answer 13

@Owlcoffee

_____ is the difference in x-coordinates ?

Answer 14

No, the difference between the x coordinates is "x2-x1" which is below the division line.
