Question

What is the slope given the two points?
(-3,12) & (4,5)

Answer 1

Answer: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, (-3,12) be (x1,y1) and (4,5) be (x2,y2)

We know that slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

So, slope of given two points = (5 - 12)/(4 - (-3))

= -7/(4+3)

= -7/7

= -1

Therefore, slope of given two points = -1

Answer 2

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

(-3 , 12) & (4, 5)

Slope =
`(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))\\`

`= (5 - 12)/(4-[-3])\\\\= (-7)/(4+3)\\\\=(-7)/(7)\\\\= -1`
