Answer:
-1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Points: (-8, -3), (-24, 1)
slope = rise/run = difference in y / difference in x
Find the difference in the y-coordinates in either order:
Let's do 1 - (-3) = 1 + 3 = 4
Now we find the difference in x, but it must be in the same order we did the difference in y.
-24 - (-8) = -24 + 8 = -16
Difference in y = 4
Difference in x = -16
slope = 4/(-16) = -1/4
Answer: -1/4
