The slope of a line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) can be found using the formula:
slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
In this case, the two points are (0, 4) and (-8, -1).
Substituting the values into the formula:
slope = (-1 - 4) / (-8 - 0)
= (-5) / (-8)
= 5/8
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (0, 4) and (-8, -1) is 5/8.
slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
In this case, the two points are (0, 4) and (-8, -1).
Substituting the values into the formula:
slope = (-1 - 4) / (-8 - 0)
= (-5) / (-8)
= 5/8
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (0, 4) and (-8, -1) is 5/8.
