Find the slope of the line that passes through (8, 4) and (4, 11).
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
The slope of a line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) can be found using the formula:
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Using the given points (8, 4) and (4, 11), we substitute the values into the formula:
m = (11 - 4) / (4 - 8)
Simplifying the numerator and denominator:
m = 7 / (-4)
Therefore, the slope of the line that passes through (8, 4) and (4, 11) is -7/4.
