Q:
Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-4,-3) and (8,-9)
Accepted Solution
A:
Step-by-step explanation:Slope formula:[tex] \frac{y2}{x2} - \frac{y1}{x1} = m[/tex]m = slopeSubstitute the points into the formula format:[tex] \frac{ - 9}{8} - \frac{ - 3}{ - 4}=m [/tex]Using Integer rule for subtraction:[tex] \frac{ - 9}{8} + \frac{3}{4} = m[/tex]Solve:[tex] \frac{ - 6 \div 6}{12 \div 6} = - \frac{1}{2} = m [/tex]The slope is -1/2.
