Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points(1,6) and (13,2)?

Answer 1

• 
  `\boxed{\sf{-(2)/(3) }}`

Explanation:

Use a slope formula.

Slope formula:

`\Longrightarrow: \sf{(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(RISE)/(RUN) }`

y2=2

y1=6

x2=13

x1=1

Rewrite the problem.

`\sf{(2-6)/(13-1)=(-8)/(12)=(-8/4)/(12/4)=(-2)/(3)=\boxed{\sf{-(2)/(3)}}`

• Therefore, the slope is -2/3, which is our answer.
