Question

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line through the points (0,0) and (7,−8).

Answer 1

-8/7

Explanation:

so we know slope formula is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

so we plug in our coordinates given to match the formula

(-8-0)/(7-0)

subtract/add to get

-8/7 for our slope cause slope is rise over run or y over x
