Question

What is the slope of this line?
The coordinates are: (-4,5),(0,6), and (8,8).

Answer 1

The slope of the line is 1/4.

Explanation:

To find the slope of any line, use the slope formula.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (6 - 5)/(0 - -4)

m = (6 - 5)/(0 + 4)

m = 1/4

Answer 2

Explanation:

we have to use the formula of slope here.

we know,

slope of the line passing through (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is-

`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Here, the first two points are -

(-4 , 5) and (0,6)

So, the slope will be-

`(6-5)/(0-(-4))=(1)/(0+4)=(1)/(4)`

So, the slope is-

`(1)/(4)`
