Question

What is the slope of the line that contains these points x=12,13,14,15 y=-4,2,8,14

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

Fid the difference in the y-coordinates of any two points. This is the rise.

Then find the difference in the corresponding x-coordinates of the same points. This is the run.

slope = rise/run

Let's use x = 12, x = 15, and y = -4, y = 14.

rise = -4 - 14 = -18

run = 12 - 15 = -3

slope = rise/run = -18/(-3) = 6

Answer: slope = 6
