Question

Slope of the line that contains (-8,2) , (7,-4)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\mathsf{slope=-\dfrac25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathsf{let \ (x_1,y_1)=(-8,2)}$

$\mathsf{let \ (x_2,y_2)=(7,-4)}$

$\mathsf{slope=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}$

$\implies \mathsf{slope=\dfrac{-4-2}{7--8}=-\dfrac25}$
