Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the points named.

R(0, 4), S(5, 0)

A)-5/4
B)-4/5
C)4/5

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is $-\dfrac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is given by

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

so, given the points (0,4) and (5,0) we substitute to get

$m=\dfrac{0-4}{5-0}=-\dfrac{4}{5}$
