Question

What is the slope of a line with endpoints (-11,5) and (5,-7)

Answer 1

Slope K = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Point 1 = (-11,5) Point 2 = (5,-7)

Slope K = (-7-5)/(5+11) = (-12)/16 = -3/4

Answer 2

-6/8

Explanation:

Slope=y1-y2/x1-x2

Where (X1,y1) is (-11,5) and (X2,y2) is(5,-7)

Slope=5+7/-11-5

=-12/16

= -6/8

So the slope is -6/8
