Question

What is the slope of the line containing (-1,8) and (3, -12)?

Answer 1

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope since we have two points

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

   = (-12-8)/(3 - -1)

   = (-12-8)/(3+1)

   = -20/4

   = -5

Answer 2

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope since we have two points

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

  = (-12-8)/(3 - -1)

  = (-12-8)/(3+1)

  = -20/4

  = -5
