Question

What is the slope between the points (2, 3) and (-1, 12)

Answer 1

you do x1-y1 and x2-y2 (2-12=-10) and ( 3—1=4) and get -10/4 which converts to -5/2

Answer 2

`\huge \boxed {slope = - 3}`

Explanation:

`m = (rise)/(run)`

The slope is the change of y over the change of x.

`m = (12 - 3)/( - 1 - 2) \\ m = (9)/( - 3) \\ m = - (9)/(3) \\ m = - 3`

Therefore, the slope is -3.
