Question

Carlos plotted the points (-4,-4) and (0, 3) and connected them with a line, as shown below.

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope between the two points is 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope  of a Line

Suppose we know a line passes through points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the equation:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The points plotted by Carlos are (-4,-4) and (0,3), thus the slope is:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{3-(-4)}{0-(-4)}$

$\displaystyle m=\frac{7}{4}$

The slope between the two points is 7/4
