Question

find the slope of the line that goes through the points (-1,4) and (4,-8).

Answer 1

Answer:

- 12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula: m = y2-y1 ÷ x2-x1 OR m= y2-y1/x2-x1

Point (-1,4): -1 is considered x1 and 4 is considered y1

Point (4,-8): 4 is considered x2 and -8 is considered y2

Substitute into equation:

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = -8-4/4-(1)

m = -12/5

You cannot simplify further so the slope of the line is (-12,5)
