Question

Line AB contains points A (8, −4) and B (1, −5). The slope of line AB is (1 point) a −7 b negative 1 over 7 c 1 over 7 d 7

Answer 1

Heya !

Given two points A ( 8 , -4 ) and B ( 1 , - 5 )

To find - slope of line AB

Solution -

$Slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \frac{ -5 - (-4 )}{ 1 - 8 } \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \frac{ - 5 + 4 }{ 1 - 8 } \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \frac{-1}{-7} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \frac{1}{7}$

Hence ,

Option ( c ) is correct.
