Answer:

(4, 1)(7, 12) = 3.67 or 3 ²/₃

(0, 0) (4, 2) = 0.5

(0, 5) (3, 0) = -1.67 or -⁵/₃

(2, 5)(2, -3) = undefined

(3, -2)(-2, 3) = -1

Explanation:

To find the slope when given two points, you can use slope intercept form which looks like this:

Slope = y₂ - y₁ ÷ x₂ - x₁

To find the slope of (4, 1) and (7, 12) we just need to insert them into the slope intercept form equation.

(4, 1) (7, 12)

x₂ y₂ x₁ y₁

Slope = (1 - 12) ÷ (4 - 7)

Slope = ( -11 ) ÷ ( -3 )

Slope = 3.67 or 3 ²/₃

(2, 5)(2, -3) = undefined

When graphed, these two points would make a vertical line. If you try to apply the slope intercept form, you will get a denominator of 0 making the slope undefined.

~Hope this Helps!~
