Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (26, 7) and (-39, 12)?

Answer 1

Explanation:

point P1 = (26,7) in the form (x1,y1)

point P2 = (-39,12) in the form (x2,y2)

slope , m , of a line is:

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

m = (12-7) / ( -39-26)

m = 5 / -65

m = - 1 / 13

m = -
`(1)/(13)`
