Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1,6) and (13,2)

Answer 1

Answer: Slope = -1/3

Explanation:

In order to find the slope , use the formula:

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Put in the values:

m = 2 - 6 / 13 - 1

m = -4 / 12

m = - 1/3

Therefore, The slope is -1/3.

Answer 2

slope is -3

Explanation:

slope = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1

slope = (13 - 1/2 - 6)

= (12/-4)

= -3

slope is -3
