Question

1. GRIDDED RESPONSE What is the slope of the line that

contains the points R(-2, 1) and S(10, 6)? Express
your answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

5/12

Explanation:

Answer 2

slope =
`(5)/(12)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (10, 6)

m =
`(6-1)/(10+2)` =
`(5)/(12)`
