Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \tt{ - 5}}}}$

☪$\tt{Question} :$

• Find the gradient / slope of the line segment between the points points ( 0 , - 3 ) and ( 1 , -8 ).

☥ $\tt{Step - by - step \: explanation : }$

☄$\tt{Solution : }$

$\sf{Step \: 1} :$ Assign one of the ordered pairs to be ( x₁ , y₁ ) and another to be ( x₂ , y₂ )

• $\sf{(0 \: - 3) \longrightarrow}$ ( x₁ , y₁ )
• $\sf{(1 \: - 8 \: ) \longrightarrow}$ ( x₂ , y₂ )

$\sf{Step \: 2} :$ Substitute values into the slope formula and then simplify :

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

↦ $\sf{ \frac{ - 8 - ( - 3)}{1 - 0}}$

↦ $\sf{ \frac{ - 8 + 3}{1} }$

↦ $\boxed{ \sf{ - 5}}$

Hence , Our answer is $\boxed{ \sf{ - 5}}$.

Hope I helped!
