Answer 1

Given that,

The points are (4,4) and (8,3)

To find,

The slope of the line.

Solution,

The slope of a line is given by the formula as follows :

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Put x₁ = 4, y₁ = 4, x₂ = 8 and y₂ = 3

$m=\dfrac{3-4}{8-4}\\\\=\dfrac{-1}{4}$

So, the slope of the line is $\dfrac{-1}{4}$.
