Question

Find the slope of each line passing through the given points using the slope formula. Describe the

slope as positive, negative, zero, or undefined.
6. (12,-7) and (2,-2)
7. (-5, 6) and (8, 6)

Answer 1

m1=9/10

Explanation:

slope of line at given two points given by,

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

We have that x2 = 2 , and x1 = 12 , y2 = - 2 y1 = 7 ,

Plug the given values into the formula for a slope: m = (- 2 - 7)/(2 - 12) = 9/10
