Question

find the slope of (3, 8) and (-4, -4)

Answer 1

To find the slope of the line between the points \((3, 8)\) and \((-4, -4)\), you can use the slope formula:

\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

Where:
- \((x_1, y_1) = (3, 8)\)
- \((x_2, y_2) = (-4, -4)\)

Plugging in the values:

\[
m = \frac{-4 - 8}{-4 - 3}
\]
\[
m = \frac{-12}{-7}
\]
\[
m = \frac{12}{7}
\]

So, the slope of the line between the points \((3, 8)\) and \((-4, -4)\) is \(\frac{12}{7}\).
