Question

3. Determine the slope of the line that has the following coordinates: (-3, 6) (4,-2)

-8/7
8/7
-7/8
12/7

Answer 1

-8/7

Explanation:

(-3, 6) & (4,-2)

To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(-2 - 6) / (4 - (-3))

Simplify the parentheses.

= (-2 - 6) / (4 + 3)

= -8 / 7

Simplify the fraction.

= -8/7

This is your slope.

Hope this helps!
