Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the points named. R(0, 4), S(5, 0)

Answer 1

Slope = (0 - 4) / (5-0) = -4/5

hope that helps

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope of the line that contains the points R(0, 4) , S(5, 0) is $m = \frac{-4}{5}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

The slope of the line is defined as

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

As given in the question

The line contains the points  R(0, 4), S(5, 0) .

$x_{1}=0$

$y_{1}=4$

$x_{2}=5$

$y_{2}=0$

Put all the points in the formula

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

$m = \frac{-4}{5}$

Therefore the slope of the line that contains the points R(0, 4) , S(5, 0) is $m = \frac{-4}{5}$ .
