Question

Find the slope of the line
A. 3/4
B. -4/3
C. 4/3
D. -3/4

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 2) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(-2-4)/(4-(-4))` =
`(-6)/(4+4)` =
`(-6)/(8)` = -
`(3)/(4)`
