Question

which statement about the slope of the line is true? the slope from point o 2.8 is 1/4 * the slope of the line from point A to point b, the slope from 0 to 0.8 is 4 times the slope of the line from point B, it is -1/4 throughout the line

Answer 1

Let:

`\begin{gathered} (x1,y1)=(-12,3) \\ (x2,y2)=(-8,2) \end{gathered}`

The slope m is given by:

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(2-3)/(-8-(-12))=(-1)/(4)=-(1)/(4)`

So, we can conclude the slope of the line from point B to point A is -1/4
