Question

What is the slope of the line that goes through points (6, 1) and (-6, -5)?

If your answer is a fraction use the / to type it in. (Ex: 4/5)



Help me pls pls pls help quick

Answer 1

= 1/2

Explanation:

the slope or the gradient (m)

`(y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)`

the points is (6,1) and (-6,-5)

therefore

`(1 - ( - 5))/(6 - ( - 6)) \\ = (1 + 5)/(6 + 6) \\ = (6)/(12) \\ = (1)/(2)`

therefore the slope of the line is 1/2
