Question

Without graphing, determine the slope of each line based on the given information. Delta y=27 and delta x=-8

Answer 1

Given:

Delta x = - 8 and delta y = 27

`\Delta x=-8,\Delta y=27`

Slope is given by:

`\text{Slope =}(\Delta y)/(\Delta x)`

Substitute the values,

`\begin{gathered} \text{Slope = }(27)/(-8) \\ =-(27)/(8) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the required answer is - 27 / 8.
