Question

4.(06.02 LC)Line AB contains points A (8,-4) and B (1, -5). The slope of line AB is (1 point)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

Since the line AB contains the points A= (x_1,y_1) = (8,-4) and B= (x_2,y_2)=(1,-5) we can apply the slope formula in order its value as shown as follows:

`\text{Slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(-5-(-4))/(1-8)`

Adding and subtracting numbers:

`\text{Slope}=(-1)/(-7)=(1)/(7)`

In conclusion, the slope is 1/7
