Question

Plot the points and find the slope of the line passing through the pair of points. (4, 8), ( 8,-8) 
A)m=-4 
B) m=-4 
C) m=3 
D) m=3 
E)m=3

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the formula for slope: 
slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Substituting the given points: 
slope = (-8-8)/(8-4) = -16/4 = -4

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
