Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (12,6) and (-8,-4)

Answer 1

m= 1/2

Explanation:

Answer 2

The slope is 1/2

Explanation:

Slope of line passing through two points be (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)

↬ Slope m = ∆y/∆x

Here,

∆x = x₂ – x₁ = -8 – 12 = -20

∆y = y₂ – y₁ = -4 – 6 = -10

↬ Slope (m) = ∆y/∆x = (-20)/(-10) = 1/2

Thus, The slope is 1/2
