Question

What is the slope of a line passing through the points (30, 6) and (-42, 18)?

Answer 1

• -1/6

Explanation:

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

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

In this case, the given points are

• (30, 6)
• (-42, 18)

Substitute the values into the formula:

• Slope = (18 - 6) / (-42 - 30)

• = 12 / -72

• = -1/6

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (30, 6) and (-42, 18) is -1/6.
