Find the slope of the line in simplest form.
A. m= -1/2
B. m= -3/2
C. m= -6/4
D. m= 3/2

Answer:
[tex]-\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of the given line, slope is the rise divided by the run of a line.
Slope = [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }[/tex]
Picking points (4, 18) and (8, 12)
Now;
x₁ = 4
y₁ = 18
x₂ = 8
y₂ = 12
Slope = [tex]\frac{12 - 18}{8-4}[/tex] = [tex]-\frac{6}{4}[/tex] = [tex]-\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
