Find the slope. (7,0) (0,-8). I already did the problem as -8-0 over 0-7= -8/-7 it told me my answer was wrong on webassign.
=====================
Slope is the change in y divided by the change in x.
---------
= (-8-0)/(0-7)
= -8/-7
= 8/7
--------
Your answer is correct, but might be rejected because of the 2 minus signs.
