Question 6882: I would like it if someone could show me step by step with an explaination on how to solve this type of problem. I keep getting the wrong answer. "Find the slope of a straight line that passes through the given pair of points". (3/4,-4) and (2,-8)... What I have been doing is this
y2, y1 = -8--4 = -4
_______ _____ __
x2, x1 = 2-3/4 = 2 1/4 = 9/4
The book says the answer is -16/5
