Answer 2

Are you presenting four different points? If so, separate them by commas:
(4, -4), (8, -1), (0,-7), (-4, -10).

If these four points are truly all on ONE line, then you need only choose any two of them and then apply the slope formula,
\[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1}}\]

Answer 3

Does this look linear?

Answer 4

What I just sent is your coordinates plotted down on a graph by the way...

Answer 5

idk this question is confusing. it doesnt count for anything on my school i was just curious but ill try just picking to two points and see what happens. ill lyk what the answer is

Answer 6

Graphing these four points was a great way of determing whether or not they all lie on the same straight line (they do not). This should be done before you act on my previous suggestion.

Answer 7

Thanx ^^ @mathmale

Answer 8

i guess the answer is 3/4?

Answer 9

First look at the graph I sent you with coordinates plotted down.....we first must see if its linear or not cause then there would be no slope...

Answer 10

Sorry to be sarcastic, but WHY are you guessing?

If not all of the points are on the same line, then what?

Please go back and check to ensure that you've presented all four points accurately.
Next, determine whether or not the four points are all on one line.
If they are, then find the slope of the line.
If they are not, then say so.
If you choose to ignore a point that is not on the line, say so, and find the slope of the line through the other 3 points.
