Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the given points?
(2, 12) and (6, 11)

A. -1/4
B. 1/4
C.4
D.-4

Answer 1

y=-0.25x+12.5

Answer 2

to find the slope use this formula\[\frac{ (y _{2}-y _{1}) }{ (x _{2}-x _{1}) }\]

Answer 3

it doesnt matter what you choose as coordinate 1 or 2, but stay consistent

Answer 4

first find the gradient, and use that to form the equation using, y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 5

Hint:
Find slope \[slope = \frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]
Use one of the points and put into POINT-SLOPE form.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
m = slope

Convert to SLOPE-INTERCEPT form.
y = mx + b
