Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points. (Show work)
(3, 4 ) and (-5, 0 )​

Answer 1

1/2

Explanation:

Use slope formula. y_2 - y_1 / x_2 - Y_1. That would be 0-4 / -5 -3. That is the same as -4/-8. -4/-8 simplified is 1/2 because two negatives divided, is a positive. The slope would be 1/2.

Answer 2

1/3

Explanation:

0-4/-5-4 = -3/-9 = 1/3
