Question

What is the slope of the line that passed through (-2,-1) and (12,6)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the slope

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`m=(6-(-1))/(12-(-2))`

`m=(6+1)/(12+2)`

`m=(7)/(14)`

`m=(1)/(2)`

Answer: The slope is 1/2

Answer 2

1/2

Explanation:

The slope is given by

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

= (6 - -1)/(12 - -2)

= (6+1)/(12+2)

7/14

1/2
