Question

Determine the slope of the line J(0,0) K(-2,8)

Answer 1

Hello!

Explanation:

`Slope=(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)=(RISE)/(RUN)`

`(8-0)/((-2)-0)=(8)/(-2)=-4`

Slope is -4

Final answer is -4

*The answer must have a negative sign.*

I hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)

Answer 2

slope is -4 or in a fraction, -4/1

Explanation:

When you have 2 points, you can find the slope by subtracting them by each other. You must do 8 - 0 which is 8, then -2 - 0 which is -2. Then you get 8/-2. Once simplified, you get -4, and you know if the number is alone, there is always a 1 under it so you get -4/1.
