Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, -6) and (6, -12)? Write your answer in simplest form.​

Answer 1

4/-18 or 2/-9

Explanation:

The slope of a straight line is a number that indicates how steep the line is. You can calculate the slope of a line by dividing the vertical change, called the rise, by the horizontal change, called the run, between two distinct points on the line.

Slope = change in y divided by change in x or rise divided by run

6 - 2 = 4

-12 - 6 = -18

Answer would be 4/-18
