Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (26, 7) and (-39, 12)?

A) -
1
13
B)
5
13
C) -13
D)
13
5

Answer 1

-1/13

Explanation:

Answer 2

`m=-(1)/(13)`

Explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

we have the points

(26, 7) and (-39, 12)

substitute the values in the formula

`m=(12-7)/(-39-26)`

`m=(5)/(-65)`

simplify

`m=-(1)/(13)`
