Question

Which characteristic of the line that passes through the points (6,10) and (12,2)..

Answer 1

Let us find the slope of the line:

`m\text{ = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Where x1 = 6, x2 = 12, y1 = 10 and y2 = 2

`\begin{gathered} m\text{ = }(2-10)/(12-6) \\ m\text{ = }(-8)/(6)\text{ = -}(4)/(3) \\ \\ \end{gathered}`

The slope of the given line is -4/3
