Question

slope of the line that contains (-8,2) , (7,-4)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\mathsf{slope=-\dfrac25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathsf{let \ (x_1,y_1)=(-8,2)}$

$\mathsf{let \ (x_2,y_2)=(7,-4)}$

$\mathsf{slope=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}$

$\implies \mathsf{slope=\dfrac{-4-2}{7--8}=-\dfrac25}$

Answer 2

Answer:

-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

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

m=(-4-2)/(7-(-8))

m=-6/(7+8)

m=-6/15

simplify

m=-2/5
