Question

Use slope formula m= y2-y1/x2-x1 to find the slope of a line that passes through the points (–3, 8) and (4, –6).

Answer 1

-6-8/4+3
=-14/7
=-2
The answer would be -2. 

Answer 2

Answer:  -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find slope passing through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ will be :_

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x-2-x_1}$

Given points : (-3, 8) and (4, -6)

Then the slope of the line passing through (-3,8) and (4,-6) will be :_

$m=\dfrac{-6-8}{4-(-3)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=\dfrac{-14}{4+3}=-2$

Hence, the slope of line passing through (-3,8) and (4,-6)  = -2
