How do you find the slope of #(9, 8), (7, -8) #? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer Ahmemaru May 5, 2018 #slope = 8# Explanation: From the formula of the slope #slope = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)# #(9,8),(7,-8)# #(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)# #color(red)(x_1 = 9)# #color(blue)(y_1 = 8)# #color(green)(x_2 = 7)# #color(brown)(y_2 = -8)# #= (color(brown)(-8)-color(blue)(8))/(color(green)(7)-color(red)(9)) = (-16)/-2=8# Answer link Related questions What is Slope?
