Answer:
Slope of the equation passing through the points (0, 4) and (−8, −1) is [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] .
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the slope is given by
[tex]m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
As given
line passing through the points (0, 4) and (−8, −1) .
Putting the values in the equation of a slope
[tex]m= \frac{-1-4}{-8-0}[/tex]
[tex]m= \frac{-5}{-8}[/tex]
[tex]m= \frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Therefore the slope of the equation passing through the points (0, 4) and (−8, −1) is [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] .
