Question

Find the slope of the line given two points:

(8, 10) and (-7, 14)
A
m = -15/4
B
m = -24/1
с
m = -4/15
D
m = 4/15

Answer 1

The answer is option C

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

(8, 10) and (-7, 14)

The slope is

`m = (14 - 10)/( - 7 - 8) = (4)/( - 15) = - (4)/(15) \\`

We have the final answer as

`- (4)/(15) \\`

Hope this helps you
