Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the given points 2,12 and 6,11

-1\4
1\4
4
-4

Answer 1

the answer is 1/4.
`12-11/6-2`

Answer 2

`-(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

∵ Slope of a line passes through
`(x_1, y_1)` and
`(x_2, y_2)` is,

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Thus, the slope of the line that passes through the given points (2,12 ) and (6,11) is,

`m=(11-12)/(6-2)`

`=(-1)/(4)`

`=-(1)/(4)`

Hence, FIRST option is correct.
