Question

What is the the slope of the line through each pair of points: (-12, 0) (18, -18)

Answer 1

`(-3)/(5)`

Explanation:

Start by using this formula for finding slope
`(y - y_(1) )/(x - x_(1) )`:

`(-18 - 0)/(18 - (-12))`

Next, simplify:

`(-18)/(30)`

Lastly, simplify again and you have your slope!:

`(-3)/(5)`

Hope this helped! :D
