Question

The set of points W(4, 4), X(6, 2), Y(-8, 16) are collinear and the line has a slope of ____.

1
3/4
1/2
-1

Answer 1

-1

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: -1

Explanation:

Given: The set of points W(4, 4), X(6, 2), Y(-8, 16) are collinear

The slope of a line passing through points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

`m=(d-b)/(c-a)`

Now, the slope of line passing through W(4, 4), X(6, 2) is given by :-

`m=(6-4)/(2-4)=(2)/(-2)=-1`

Hence, the slope of line passing through W(4, 4), X(6, 2), Y(-8, 16) =-1
