Answer:A) -4/3 B) 1/2 C) -5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
For A) let (x1, y1) = (8, -7), (x2, y2) = (5, -3)
Slope = (-3 -(-7)) / (5 - 8) = 4/-3
For B) let (x1, y1) = (-5, 9), (x2, y2) = (5, 11)
Slope = (11 - 9) / (5 - (-5)) = 2/10 = 1/2
For C) let (x1, y1) = (-8, -4), (x2, y2) = (-4, -9)
Slope = (-9 -(-4)) / (-4 - (-8)) = -5/4
