Answer 1

Answer:

-8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The thing that makes lines different from other kinds of curves is their constant rate of change. We call this rate of change slope, and you usually see it represented with the letter m. We measure it as the rate our y-coordinate changes for some amount our x-coordinate changes.

We're given the two points (-1, 4), and (4, -4). From that first point to the second one, our x-coordinate increases by 5, while our y-coordinate decreases by 8, so our change in y is -8 for every 5 in the positive x direction, and we'd write our slope as

m = -8/5
