Question

What is the slope between the points (5,-4) and (-3,4)
-1
4
0
1

Answer 1

The answer is -1.

Explanation:

You have to apply gradient formula :

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

So you will have to substitute the coordinates into the equation. Let (x1,y1) be (-3,4) and (x2,y2) be (5,-4) :

`m = ( - 4 - 4)/(5 - ( - 3))`

`m = ( - 8)/(8)`

`m = - 1`
