Question

What is the slope of the line that goes through the points (-4Ė2) and (8Ė5) ?

OA.
-4
B. -1
c. /1/1
D.

Answer 1

1/4

Explanation:

e use the slope formula:

`\[m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)\]`

Where:

`\((x_1, y_1)\) = (-4, -2)`

`\((x_2, y_2)\) = (8, -5)`

Now, calculate the slope:

`\[m = ((5-2))/(8 - (-4))\]`

`\[m = (3)/(8 + 4)\]`

`\[m = (3)/(12)\]`

Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:

`\[m = (3/3)/(12/3)\]`

`\[m = (1)/(4)\]`

Slope of the line passing through the points (-4, 2) and (8, 5) is indeed 1/4.

Answer 2

The slope is 1/4

Explanation:

To find the slope, we can use the slope formula.

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( 5-2)/(8- -4)

(5-2)/(8+4)

3/12

1/4

The slope is 1/4
