Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-8, -3) and (-24, 1)? Write your answer in simplest form.​

Answer 1

Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Y1-Y2/x1-x2

(-3-1)/(-8-(-24))

-4/16

-1/4

Answer 2

Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two points so we can use the slope formula

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

    = ( 1 - -3)/(-24 - -8)

    = ( 1+3) / ( -24+8)

    = 4/-16

   = -1/4
