Question

Find the slope of the line through the pair of points (17, -12) (11, 5)

Answer 1

Hello!

Explanation:

Slope formula:
`(Y^2^-^Y^1)/(X^2-X^1)=(rise)/(run)`

`Y^2,Y^1=(5,-12)`

`X^2,X^1=(11,17)`

`(5-(-12)=5+12=17)/(11-17=-6)=(17)/(-6)`

Answer:
`(17)/(-6)`

Slope is 17.

Y-intercept is -6.

Hope this helps!
