Question

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line passing through the given points.

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope of the line passing through the given points are: $\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line : For any two point $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$

the formula of slope is given by:

Slope(m) = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Given the points ( -4, 7) and (0, 8)

then, by using slope formula;

$m = \frac{8-7}{0-(-4)} = \frac{1}{0+4} = \frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the given points are: $\frac{1}{4}$

Answer 2

Answer:

1 / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find the slope of a line which passes through the two given points: (–4, 7) and (0, 8).

We know the formula of the slope (m):

$slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

So putting in the values of the coordinates of the given points in the formula to get:

Slope = $\frac{8-7}{0--4} = \frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, the slope slope of a line which passes through the two given points: (–4, 7) and (0, 8) is 1 / 4.
