Question

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line passing through the given points.

(–4, 7) and (0, 8)

Answer 1

1 / 4

Explanation:

We are to find the slope of a line which passes through the two given points: (–4, 7) and (0, 8).

We know the formula of the slope (m):

`slope = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

So putting in the values of the coordinates of the given points in the formula to get:

Slope =
`(8-7)/(0--4) = (1)/(4)`

Therefore, the slope slope of a line which passes through the two given points: (–4, 7) and (0, 8) is 1 / 4.

Answer 2

Slope of the line passing through the given points are:
`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Slope of a line : For any two point
`(x_1, y_1)` and
`(x_2, y_2)`

the formula of slope is given by:

Slope(m) =
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Given the points ( -4, 7) and (0, 8)

then, by using slope formula;

`m = (8-7)/(0-(-4)) = (1)/(0+4) = (1)/(4)`

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the given points are:
`(1)/(4)`
