Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the two points.If: (–7, 8), (–4, 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 7, 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, 3)

m = $\frac{3-8}{-4+7}$ = $\frac{-5}{3}$ = - $\frac{5}{3}$
