Question

What is the slope of the line through (-1,8) and (3,-4)?

Answer 1

Hey there!!

How do we find slopes ?

Slope = $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

We are given with two co-ordinates :

(-1,8) and (3,-4)  

Hence, the slope is :

$\frac{-4-8}{3+1}$

... $\frac{-12}{4}$ = -3

The slope is -3.

Hope my answer helps!
