Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?

Answer 1

The answer is C. 1/6

Answer 2

Slope of a Line Passing through two points (x₁ , y₁) and (x₂ , y₂) is given by :

`\spadesuit\; Slope(m) = (y_1 - y_2)/(x_1 - x_2)`

Given Points are (-6 , 3) and (12 , 6)

here x₁ = -6 and x₂ = 12 and y₁ = 3 and y₂ = 6

`\spadesuit\; Slope(m) = (3 - 6)/(-6 - 12) = (-3)/(-18) = (1)/(6)`

C is the Answer
