Answer:

-30

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), you can use the following formula:

{Slope} (m) = {y2 - y1}/{x2 - x1}

In your case, the two points are (12, -18) and (11, 12). So, you can calculate the slope as follows:

m = {12 - (-18)}/{11 - 12} = {12 + 18}/{-1} = {30}/{-1} = -30

The slope of the line passing through these two points is -30.

Answer: -30

Explanation:

We can use the given formula to find the slope. This finds the change in y over the change in x.


\displaystyle (y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) ) =(12--18)/(11-12) =(30)/(-1) =-30
