Look I don't need the answer but I would really appreciate a step by step walk through I've been trying to figure slopes out since 7:50 this morning and I genuinely don't understand how to find the slope to a problem like this please help me I'm really struggling.

m = -8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

pick two points on the line

point 1 (1,4) for (x1, y1)

point 2 (4,-4) for (x2, y2)

slope is rise over run

and the equation for slope m = (y2 - y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-4 - 4) / (4 - 1) = -8/3

Slope: 8/-3

written: eight over negative three.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to see 2 points that are connected. if you look closely there is a point on (4,-4) now you find another point. There is only 1 more which is in (1,4).

Now to find the slope find how far they are, how many times you go up or down? How many times do you go right or left?

Up = positive

down= negative

right=positive

down= negative.

so you'll see that you need to go up and to the left. you have to go up 8 times so it's positive. you also have to go left 3 times so it's negative. slope is basically RISE/RUN so, rise over run. you went (up 8, left 3) so (8,-3).

Now apply Rise/run and your answer will be 8/-3.
