Question

How do you find the slope of the line through (-4,-8); (-2,0)?

Answer 1

Slope of line through `(x_1,y_1)=(-4,-8)` and `(x_2,y_2)=(-2,0)`is
`color(white)("XXXX")`4

Explanation:

The slope between `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` is given by the formula:
`color(white)("XXXX")` `m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

For the given data points:
`color(white)("XXXX")` `m= (0-(-8))/(-2-(-4)) = 8/2 = 4`
