Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (8,-4) and (-7, -4).

Answer 1

Hi!

I can help you with joy!

• If you notice, the y-coordinates of the points are the same.
• This means the slope of the line is 0, because its rise is 0.
• Let's use the slope formula:
• $\displaystyle\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} \\\displaystyle\frac{-4-(-4)}{7-8}$
• Simplify:
• $\displaystyle\frac{-4+4}{-7-8}$
• Simplify:
• $\displaystyle\frac{0}{1}$

Answer:

The slope of the line is 0.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope=m=(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)

As given values

take,   (X1,Y1)=(-7,-4)

          (X2-Y2)=(8,8)

hence   X1=-7  ,  Y1= -4   ,  X2=8  , Y2= 8

putt the values in the above equation of slope we get ,

m=(8-(-4))/(8-(-7)

m=12/15    Ans
