Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-8,-1) and (-12,-2) ?

Answer 1

the answer is 4/1. Or just 4.

Explanation:

-8-(-12) is -8+12=4. Then -1-(-2) is -1+2=1.

Answer 2

1/3

Explanation:

To find the slope subtract the second y-coordinate from the first y-coordinate and divide it by the result of the second x-coordinate from the first.

-2 - -1 = -1

-12 - -8= -3

-1/-3 = 1/3
