Question

What is the slope between (-14,-12),(7,17)

Answer 1

Slope ≈ 1.38

Explanation:

GIVEN :-

• (x₁ , y₁) = (-14 , -12)

• (x₂ , y₂) = (7 , 17)

TO FIND :-

• Slope between the given points

SOLUTION :-

Formula for slope =
`(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

Using this formula ,

`Slope = (17 - (-12))/(7 - (-14))`

`= (17 + 12)/(7 + 14)`

`= (29)/(21)`

`= 1.38 (appx.)`

Answer 2

`let, slope=m`

`Therefore,m = 29 / 21 = 1.38095`
