Question

Can someone please help me

Answer 1

-4

Option B is the correct option

Explanation:

Let the points be A and B

A ( -1 , 8 ) -----> ( x1 , y1 )

B ( 2 , -4 ) -----> ( x2 , y2 )

Now, let's find the slope of the line:

`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

plug the values

`= ( - 4 - 8)/(2 - ( - 1))`

Calculate the difference

`( - 12)/(2 - ( - 1))`

When there is a (-) in front of an expression in parentheses , change the sign of each term in expression

`( - 12)/(2 + 1)`

Add the numbers

`= ( - 12)/(3)`

Reduce the fraction with 3

`= - 4`

Hope this helps..

Best regards!!

Answer 2

-4

Explanation:

In order to get from point -1, 8, to point 2, -4, you would have to go down 12 and right 3, which would be 12/-3, which would simplify to -4
