Question

Find the slope of the line that goes through the points (-3, -4) and (0, -1).

A. LaTeX: \frac{4}{3}4 3

B. -1

C. LaTeX: \frac{3}{4}3 4

D. 1

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

The slope is the change in y-coordinates divided by the change in x-coordinates.

Here, the y-coordinates are -4 and -1, and the x-coordinates are -3 and 0, so:

slope = m = (-4 - (-1)) / (-3 - 0) = -3 / -3 = 1

The slope is thus 1, so the answer is D.

Answer 2

We can use the points (-3, -4) and (0, -1) to solve.

Slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

= -1-(-4)/0-(-3)

= 3/3

= 1 (Option D)

Best of Luck!
