Question

BRAILIEST for correct answer!! Pls help

What's the slope of a line that passes through (−12,15) and (0,4)?

Answer 1

Slope: -11/12x

Explanation:

Slope-intercept equation:

y = mx + b

(m = slope)

The formula for slope is below.

m =
`(y_(2) - y_(1) )/(x_(2) - x_(1) )`

With your two points, you can accurately determine your slope.

(-12, 15) (0,4)

x1 = -12

y1 = 15

x2 = 0

y2 = 4

Apply this information in the slope formula to get:

`(4 - 15)/(0 - -12)`

Change the 0 - -12 to 0 + 12

`(4 - 15)/(0 + 12)`

4 - 15 = -11

0 + 12 = 12

Place -11 and 12 into a fraction.

`(-11)/(12)` OR -11/12

Add "x" to the end from "mx" within the slope-intercept equation

-11/12x

Answer 2

-11/12

Explanation:

slope for points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(x,y)

(-12,15)

(0,4)

x1=-12

y1=15

x2=0

y2=4

slope=(4-15)/(0-(-12))=-11/(0+12)=-11/12
