Question

subtract in the numerator and denominator to find the slope of line h.
slope = \frac{vertical distance}{horizontal distance} = \frac{change in y - values}{change in x - values}
= \frac{4 - 1}{1 - 5}
= \frac{\square}{\square}

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate numerator

The numerator is \(4 - 1\), which equals \(3\).

Step2: Calculate denominator

The denominator is \(1 - 5\), which equals \(-4\).

Step3: Form the fraction

Put the numerator and denominator together to get the slope as \(\frac{3}{-4}\) or \(-\frac{3}{4}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{3}{-4}\) (or \(-\frac{3}{4}\))
