Question

What is the slope of (8,3) and (-4,-6)?

Answer 1

Answer: The slope of the line formed by these two points is $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the slope, we use the formula:

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

For the coordinates given:

$x_1=8\\y_1=3\\x_2=-4\\y_2=-6$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$Slope=\frac{(-6-3)}{(-4-8)}\\\\Slope=\frac{-9}{-12}\\\\Slope=\frac{3}{4}$

Hence, the slope of the line formed from these two coordinates is  $\frac{3}{4}$
