What is the slope of the line that contains the point (-1,8) and (5,-4) answer.com?

1 answer:

5 0

THE SLOPE IS -2

if we have the coordinates of two points on a line, we can find the slope with this formula:
$s = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 -x1} = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}$
so the slope is
$\frac{8 - ( - 4)}{ - 1 - 5} = \frac{12}{ - 6} = - 2$
the answer is -2

good luck
