Answer 1

Hello : let A(34,12) B(32,48)
the slope is : (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)
(48-12)/(32-34) = 36/-2 = -18

Answer 2

Answer: -18

Explanation:

The slope of a line passing through points (p,q) and (m,n) is given by :-

`\text{Slope}=(n-q)/(m-p)`

Given : A line contains the points (34, 12) and (32, 48) .

Then, the slope of line will be :-

`\text{Slope}=(48-12)/(32-34)\\\\=(36)/(-2)=-18`

Hence, the slope of the line in simplified form= -18
