Question

What is the slope of A(8,-3) B(-4,-12)

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for a slope, you must in the formula,

$slope=\frac{rise}{run} = (\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} } )\\ \\where...\\(x_{1} ,y_{1} )and(x_{2} ,y_{2} )$

(In this case, you can choose which point can have the x(1) and y(1) and which can have the x(2) and y(2) )

1.) Plug the numbers for x(1), x(2), y(1) and y(2)

2.) Solve and simplify the number, which you should get

$m=\frac{3}{4}$
