Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the two points (0,1) and (-8, -7)

Answer 1

The slope of the line is 1

Explanation:

The slope of a line is found by using the formula

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

where

m is the slope and

(x1 , y1) and ( x2 , y2) are the points

Substituting the above values into the above formula we have

Slope of the line that passes through

(0,1) and (-8, -7) is

`m = ( - 7 - 1)/( - 8 - 0) = ( - 8)/( - 8) = 1`

The slope of the line is 1
