## anonymous one year ago Choose the correct slope of the line that passes through the points (−4, 8) and (−3, −6). 7 −14 0 14

1. Nnesha

do you know the formula to find slope ?

2. anonymous

I am not sure because it's not giving no formula

3. Nnesha

$\huge\rm \frac{ y_2 -y_1 }{ x_2 -x_1 }$ formula to find slope now plug x's and y's into the formula (x_1 , y_1 )(x_2 ,y_2)

4. anonymous

the second one

5. Nnesha

i just want to ask one question what did you substitute for y_2 ? y_2 is what in the order pair ?

6. anonymous

7. anonymous

you got it.....-14

8. Nnesha

slope = difference of y's over difference of x's so subtract y and x values

9. Nnesha

luckily but i'm pretty sure this type of question will be in pre-cal

10. Nnesha

so educated guess isn't a good option.

11. anonymous

true ^^ you should not have to guess....you know the formula...just plug in your points

12. anonymous

your right but thanks to both of you fanned both to

13. anonymous

happy to help :)
