Question

Choose the correct slope of the line that passes through the points (−4, 8) and (−3, −6).

A. 0
B. 14
C. 7
d. -14

Answer 1

The answer is option D

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

`m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1)`

where

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

From the question the points are

(−4, 8) and (−3, −6)

The slope is

`m = ( - 6 - 8)/( - 3 + 4) = ( - 14)/(1)`

We have the final answer as

- 14
