Find the slope of the line (-3,0) and (0,-4)

Question

Find the slope of line that goes through the given point

Answer 1

Use the slope formula is the distance in y-coordinates over the distance in x-coordinates.

 

 

Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

         = (-4 -0) / (0 - (-3))

         = -4 / 3

 

The slope is -4/3.
