Question

Find the slope of line containing the given points. (3,-8),(1,4)​

Answer 1

Answer:

m = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from point (1,4)​ to point (3,-8)​, x increases by 2 and y decreases by 12.  Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -12/2 = -6.

Answer 2

Answer: ⁻6 is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope use the slope equation: m=y₁-y₂/x₁-x₂

Sub: m= ⁻8-4/3-1

Solve: m= ⁻12/2

Sam: m= ⁻6/1 or -6
