Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through the points (-8,-3) and (-24,1)

Answer 1

Answer:

$- \frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$slope \: of \: line \\ = \frac{1 - ( - 3)}{ - 24 - ( - 8)} \\ = \frac{1 + 3}{8 - 24} \\ = \frac{4}{ - 16} \\ = - \frac{1}{4}$
