Slope of a Line given points (-8, -8) and (0, -11)

Given Coordinates: x1 = -8  y1 = -8,  x2 = 0  y2 = -11
Slope Formula: m  =  
y2 − y1/x2 − x1

Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:
m  =  
-11 − (-8)/0 − (-8)

m  =  
-11 + 8/0 + 8
m  =  
-3/8
m  =  –
3/8

Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-8, -8) and (0, -11) is equal to  –
3/8

Note: As a decimal number,  –
3/8
  = -0.375
