Question

The slope of a line that contains the points L(8, -3) and M(-4, -12).

A. 3/4
B. 4/15
C. 11/8
D. 2/5

Answer 1

The slope of a line passing through the points (8, -3) and (-4, -12) is 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line that passes through two points, we can use the formula:

slope = (change in y) / (change in x)

Given the points L(8, -3) and M(-4, -12), the change in y = -12 - (-3) = -9 and the change in x = -4 - 8 = -12.

Therefore, the slope is:

slope = (-9) / (-12) = 3/4
