Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the coordinates (-8,6) and (12,0)

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ x_1=-8 \\ x_2=12 \\ y_1=6 \\ y_2=0 \\ \text{slope}=\frac{0_{}-6_{}}{12_{}-(-8)_{}} \\ \text{slope}=(-6)/(20) \\ \text{slope}=-(3)/(10) \end{gathered}`
