Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the following points (1,-12) (6,3)

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

Slope =
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)` where the given points are
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)`

Plug in the points (1,-12) and (6,3)

`=(3-(-12))/(6-1)\\=(3+12)/(5)\\=(15)/(5)\\= 3`

Therefore, the slope of the line is 3.

I hope this helps!
