which statement about the slope of the line is true? the slope from point o 2.8 is 1/4 * the slope of the line from point A to point b, the slope from 0 to 0.8 is 4 times the slope of the line from point B, it is -1/4 throughout the line

Respuesta :

Let:

[tex]\begin{gathered} (x1,y1)=(-12,3) \\ (x2,y2)=(-8,2) \end{gathered}[/tex]

The slope m is given by:

[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}=\frac{2-3}{-8-(-12)}=\frac{-1}{4}=-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

So, we can conclude the slope of the line from point B to point A is -1/4
