Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (3, 8) and (7, -7)

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer would be -15/4

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{-7-8}{7-3} =\frac{-15}{4}$

This is the answer because it is in its simplest form

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{-15}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$(x1,y1)=(3,8)$
$(x2,y2)=(7,-7)$

Use the formula over slope to find the answer. (rise / run)

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$
$m=\frac{-7-8}{7-3} =\frac{-15}{4}$
$=\frac{-15}{4}$

Hope this helps.
