Given that,
The points are (4,4) and (8,3)
To find,
The slope of the line.
Solution,
The slope of a line is given by the formula as follows :
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Put x₁ = 4, y₁ = 4, x₂ = 8 and y₂ = 3
[tex]m=\dfrac{3-4}{8-4}\\\\=\dfrac{-1}{4}[/tex]
So, the slope of the line is [tex]\dfrac{-1}{4}[/tex].
