Question

Find to slope of the line passing through the points 0,4 -8,-1

A,-8/5
B,-5/8
C, 5/8
D, 8/5

Answer 1

Given points: (0, 4) and (-8, -1)

First, find the slope.

m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
m=(-1-4)/(-8-0)
m=(-5)/(-8)
m=5/8 <--- this is positive because a negative divided by a negative is positive)

The correct solution is B.

Hope I helped :)
