Question

What is the slope of AB if
A (-3, 12)
B (-11, -16)
include solving steps

Answer 1

28/8 or 3 1/2

Explanation:

Use the slope formula to find the slope of AB

`((y_2 - y_1))/((x_2 - x_1))`

Here are our points:

A (-3, 12)

B (-11, -16)

Coordinates (x, y)

Now just plug in the values into the formula:

1.

`(12- (-16))/(-3-(-11))`

2.

`(28)/(8)` or
`3(1)/(2)`
