Question 414105: Find the slope of the line containing the two following points (3/8,-2) and (-1/4,-1/4) My answer was 56/20 or 14/5 and I do not think it is right.
-1/4--8/4
+ +
------------
-2/8 + -3/8
then divide
and I got 14/5
I think the fraction are getting me
I know m= y sub 2 - y sub 1
____________________
x sub 2 - x sub 1
and y = mx+b
Help would be appreciated! This is the only one I am having trouble on.
