Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (0, 4) and (−8, −1)?

Answer 1

Answer 2

the slope of a line is m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points on the line.
So we have x1=0,y1=4 and x2=-8 y2=-1 this gives m=(-1-4)/(-8-0) =5/8

Answer 3

here we have to do this computation:
\[m = \frac{{{y_2} - {y_1}}}{{{x_2} - {x_1}}} = \frac{{ - 1 - 4}}{{ - 8 - 0}} = ...?\]
