Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following question:
Point A = (4, 8) = (x1, y1)
Point B = (-3, 5) = (x2, y2)
In order to find the slope any two points given we use the formula to find slope or rise/run.
The reason why the students answer is incorrect because he substituted incorrectly. More specifically the run part of the formula for slope. The formula for slope goes x2 - x1 which means it should be -3 - 4, not -4 - 3, which will give you the answer -7.
Hope this helps.
