Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (0, -3) and (-4,1).

Answer 1

The formula for slope is $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

In this case:

$y_{2} = 1\\ y_{1} }= -3\\x_{2} = -4\\x_{1} = 0$

so...

$\frac{1 - (-3)}{-4 - 0}$

$\frac{4}{-4}$

-1 <<<The slope

Answer 2

Answer:

m = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is also called the gradient, m.

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

x1 = 0

y1 = 3

x2 = -4

y2 = 1

we therefore substitute for the values in the formula

m = (1-⁻3)/(⁻4-0)

m = -1
