Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points and .

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = "rise over run" (the change in y coordinates divided by the change in x coordinates) =

(8--7)/(3-7) = 15/-4 = -15/4

Answer 2

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{15}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

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

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