The slope of a line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by the formula:
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
In this case, the points are (8, 1) and (4, 4). Plugging in the values, we get:
m = (4 - 1) / (4 - 8)
= 3 / -4
= -3/4
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the given points is -3/4.
Find the slope of the line that goes through the given points.
(8,1) and (4,4)
