Question

Find the slope of a line that passes through the

Answer 1

Answer:

$-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope you can use the slope equation:

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

Let's define the terms in the equation:

y2 = 5

y1 = 7

x2 = 4

x1 = 8

Now, let's put these into the equation and solve:

$slope = \frac{5 - 7}{4 - 8} = -\frac{2}{4} = -\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the slope is -1/2.

I hope this helps!!
