Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (−1, 7) and (4, −1)?

2nd picture is the choices I have.

Answer 1

You are given the points (-1, 7) and (4, -1).
You can easily find the slope by using the formula
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = slope
(x₁, y₁) = (-1, 7)
(x₂, y₂) = (4, -1)

m = (-1 - 7)/(4 + 1)
m = (-8)/(5)
m = -8/5

The answer is:
A. -8/5
