Question

Find the slope of AB
A (-3, 12), B (-11, -16)

Answer 1

The slope is

`(7)/(2)`

Explanation:

To find the slope of AB we use the formula

`m = (y _(2) - y _(1) )/(x _(2) - x_(1))`

Where

m is the slope and

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

The slope of AB

A (-3, 12), B (-11, -16) is

`m = ( - 16 - 12)/( - 11 + 3) = ( - 28)/( - 8)`

We have the final answer as

`m = (7)/(2)`
