Question

PLEASE HELP
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

y2-y1/x2-x1 = m

Answer 2

d is the right answer

Answer 3

slope(m) = 8-(-6)/-3+4
= 14

Answer 4

you will use the slope formula : slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
and you have 2 sets of points..
set 1 : (-4,8)....so we will call these points : x1 = -4 and y1 = 8
set 2 : (-3,-6)...and we will call these points : x2 = -3 and y2 = -6
now we sub into the slope formula...pay close attention to your signs..
slope =(-6 - 8) / (-3 - (-4)
slope = -14 / (-3 + 4)
slope = -14/1....which is the same as -14
