Question

What is the slope of the line? Khan academy 15 points

Answer 1

m = -8/5

Explanation:

First determine how much x changes as we go from the first point to the second: -1 to +4. This change (the 'run') is 5 units.

Then find the change in y: -4 - (4) = -8. This change (the 'rise') is -8.

Thus the slope m = rise / run is m = -8/5
