The slope of the line passing through the points is -1/2
Calculating the slope of a line
The slope is defined as the ratio of the rise to run of an equation. Given the coordinate points (24, 8) and (8, 16)
The formula for calculating the slope of a line is expressed as
Slope = y2-y1/x2-x1
Substitute the coordinate point
Slope =. 16-8/8-24
Slope = 8/-16
Slope = -1/2
Hence the slope of the line passing through the points is -1/2
