Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (8,-3) and (4,-1)

Answer 1

`\rm \to m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

`\\ \\`

`\rm \to m = ( - 1 - 3)/(4 - 8)`

`\\ \\`

`\rm \to m = ( - 4)/(4 - 8)`

`\\ \\`

`\rm \to m = ( - 4)/( - 4)`

`\\ \\`

`\rm \to m = \cancel ( - 4)/( - 4)`

`\\ \\`

`\rm \to m = 1`
