Question

Find and interpret the slope of the line containing the given points. (0,20) and (-8,0)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

(0 - 20)/(-8 - 0)= -20/-8= 20/8= 5/4

Answer 2

The slope is: 20/-8, or -20/8

Explanation:

to find the rate of change, you do change in y over change in x

so you minus the y numbers and minus the x numbers

so,

20-0/0-8 = 20/-8

or you can do

0-20/8-0 = -20/8

both of them are the same

sorry I'm really bad at explaining myself

hope this helps! :D
