Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through the points (12,7) and (-14,19)?

F) -13/6
G) -1
H) -6/13
J) 3​

Answer 1

H) -6/13

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line between a pair of two points, use the slope formula,
`m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`. Substitute the x and y values of (12,7) and (-14,19) into the formula and simplify like so:

`m = ((19)-(7))/((-14)-(12)) \\m =(19-7)/(-14-12) \\m = (12)/(-26) \\m = -(6)/(13)`

So, Option H is correct.
