Question

Question 7-8 Work doesn’t have to be shown just an short explanation.

Answer 1

Step 1

Given;

$\begin{gathered} \text{Two points;} \\ (1,2) \\ (-3,-4) \\ \text{where } \\ x_1=1 \\ x_2=-3 \\ y_1=2 \\ y_2=-4 \end{gathered}$

Required; To find the slope

Step 2

State the formula for the slope of a line and find the slope on the line in question 7

$\begin{gathered} m=\text{ }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m=\frac{-4-2}{-3-1}=\frac{-6}{-4}=\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the slope of the line = 3/2
