What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-1,8) and (5,-4)?

The formula to find slope is y₁ - y₂ / x₁ - x₂, where y₁, y₂, x₁, and x₂ are the x- and y-values, respectively, of two coordinates on a line.

The coordinates provided are (-1, 8) and (5, -4). Plug these values into the formula accordingly and simplify.

y₁ - y₂ / x₁ - x₂

8 - (-4) / -1 - 5

8 + 4 / -6

12 / -6

-2

The slope of the line that contains the points (-1, 8) and (5, -4) is -2.

i = 2 / - 5

step-by-step explanation:

evaluation of ( 2 - 4 ) ( p + q ) when p = 2 and q = 5 i, by putting values of p and q,                                                                    

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.
