Question

Choose the correct slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, 8) and (-3, -6).. Answer. 0. 14. 7. -14.

Answer 1

Given two points, the slope of the line is determined by,
                                  m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
where x's are the abscissas and y's are the ordinates. Substituting the known values,
                                 m = (-6 - 8) / (-3 - -4) = -14
Therefore, the slope of the line is -14. 

Answer 2

The slope m is found from the following formula:
$m=\frac{y- y_{1} }{x- x_{1} }=\frac{8-(-6)}{-4-(-3)}=-14$
The correct choice is -14.
