Answer:

13/12

Explanation:

We can use the slope formula when we have two points

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

= ( 8- -5)/(0 - -12)

= (8+5)/(0+12)

= 13/12

Answer:

The slope between the points (-12,-5) and (0,8) is 13/12 .

Explanation:

We have two points which are ( -12 ,-15 ) and ( 0,8).

To find the slope between the points (-12,-5)and (0,8) we using slope formula which is

  • m = ( y ² - y ¹ ) / ( x ² - x ¹)

Where,

  • m , is the slope
  • ( y ² - y ¹ ) = ( -12 , - 5)
  • ( x ² - x ¹) = ( 0,8 )

Substitute the values into the formula

m = ( 8 - ( -5 ) / ( 0 - ( - 12 )

m= ( 8 + 5 ) / ( 0 + 12 )

m = 13 / 12

Therefore ,13/12 is the slope between the points (-12,-5) and (0,8)
