a student fond the slope of a line that passes through the points (-8,-6) and (2,-3) to be 3/10. what mistake did she make?

AShe forgot the negative sign

BShe calculated the run over the rise

C.She did not make a mistake. That is the correct slope.

DShe used the negative reciprocal of the slope.

Simple ....

we know to find slope is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

if we plug in what we know......

(-8,-6),(2,-3)

(-6--3)/(-8-2)

it turns into...

(-6++3)/(-8+-2)

(-3)/(-10)= 3/10

Thus, your answer is that she made no mistake. (C)
