Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (8,-3) and (4,-1)

Answer 1

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

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

$\rm \to m = \dfrac{ - 4}{4 - 8}$

$\rm \to m = \dfrac{ - 4}{ - 4}$

$\rm \to m = \cancel \dfrac{ - 4}{ - 4}$

$\rm \to m = 1$

Answer 2

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

m = -1 + 3 / 4 - 8

m = 2 / -4

m = -1/2
