Question 815702: find the slope of the line through (6,2)and (-2,-5)

choose from
a. -4
b. -1/4
c. 7/8
d. 8/7

y2 - y1
------- = slope of a line
x2 - x1

The points have coordinates of (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

-5 - 2
------- = slope {substituted coordinates into slope formula}
-2 - 6

-7
--- = slope {subtracted on top and bottom}
-8

7
-- = slope {reduced}
8
