The slope of the lines passing through given points is
(5)/(12).

Explanation:

Given,

The given two points are (6,6) and (-6,1).

To find the slope of the line passing through the points.

Formula

The slope of the line passing through (
x_(1) ,y_(1)) and (
x_(2) ,y_(2)) is
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

Now,

Putting,
x_(1)=6, y_(1)=6, x_(2)=-6, y_(2)= 1 we get,

Slope =
(1-6)/(-6-6) =
(-5)/(-12) =
(5)/(12)

Hence,

The slope of the lines passing through given points is
(5)/(12).
