a= -4 b=3 determine the slope of the line
a. 2
b. -2
c. 2/7
or d. -2/7
To determine the slope of the line passing through the points (a,b) = (-4, 3), we can use the formula for slope:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, x1 = -4, y1 = 3. Let's choose another point on the line, for example (x2, y2) = (0, 0).
m = (0 - 3) / (0 - (-4))
m = -3 / 4
So, the slope of the line passing through the points (-4, 3) and (0, 0) is -3/4.
None of the provided options of 2, -2, 2/7, or -2/7 are correct.
which one is the answer??
Apologies for the confusion. It seems there was a misunderstanding in my response. Let's calculate the slope correctly.
Given that the points are (-4, 3) and (0, 0), we can use the slope formula to find the slope:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (0 - 3) / (0 - (-4))
m = -3 / 4
Therefore, the correct answer is:
d. -3/4
