Question

find the slope if it exists (8,0) and (0,-2)

Answer 1

the slope for the equation is 1/4

Answer 2

Slope formula: $\frac{y_{1}-y_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2}}$

Given the two sets of coordinates (8,0) and (0,-2), plug them into the formula to find the slope. x1 is 8, x2 is 0, y1 is 0, y2 is -2.

$\frac{0-(-2)}{8-0}$

$\frac{0+2}{8-0}=\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}$

The slope is$\frac{1}{4}$.

I hope this helps :)
