Question

Find the slope of the line passing through each of the following pair of points. (4, 0), (-2, 8)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 2, 8)

m = $\frac{8-0}{-2-4}$ = $\frac{8}{-6}$ = - $\frac{4}{3}$
