Question

What is the slope of A(8,-3) B(-4,-12)

Answer 1

`m=(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

In order to solve for a slope, you must in the formula,

`slope=(rise)/(run) = ((y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) ) )\\ \\where...\\(x_(1) ,y_(1) )and(x_(2) ,y_(2) )`

(In this case, you can choose which point can have the x(1) and y(1) and which can have the x(2) and y(2) )

1.) Plug the numbers for x(1), x(2), y(1) and y(2)

2.) Solve and simplify the number, which you should get

`m=(3)/(4)`
