Question

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

Answer 1

Recall that slope is defined as: Change (or difference) in y divided by change (or difference) in x

Answer 2

Mathematically: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 3

So -1/4?

Answer 4

Yes!

Answer 5

What is the slope of the line that passes through the given points? (6,-1) and (-3,-1)

Answer 6

That means if you pick a point on that line such as (2,12) then the line will also lie on the point that is right one unit and down 4 units or equivalently left one unit and up 4 units

Answer 7

Same concept

Answer 8

So it would be -2/3?
