Question

17 find the slope of the given line. a m = 4/3 b m = 3/4 c m = - 4/3

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points on the line

Let's take the points (0, 2) and (4, - 1).

Step2: Use the slope - formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Here, $x_1 = 0,y_1 = 2,x_2=4,y_2=-1$. Then $m=\frac{-1 - 2}{4 - 0}=\frac{-3}{4}=-\frac{3}{4}$.

Answer:

B. $m =-\frac{3}{4}$
