Question

Ect the best answer for the question.

What is the slope of a line that passes through (-12,15) and (0,4)?

Answer 1

y = -11/12x + 4

Explanation:

(-12,15) and (0.4)

4 - 15 = -11

0 -(-12) = 12 (since minus a negative = positive)

-11/12

Then just put the numbers.

15 = -11/12(-12)

15 = 11 + b

4 = b

Additional Information:

Slopes are really fun to do, but they get tricky and confusing. By the way, I am 14 years old and I did slopes, and I'm not the best at this, so I might be wrong. :( Don't hate me.

Answer 2

-11/12

Explanation:

The slope of the line is the difference in y-values divided by the difference in x-values. It is ...

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

m = (4 -15)/(0 -(-12)) = -11/12

The slope of the line through the given points is -11/12.
