Question

What is the slope of a line that goes through (2,-5) and (12,3)? Make sure to simplify your answer if possible

Answer 1

Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(2,\:-5\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(12,\:3\right)\\\\m=\frac{3-\left(-5\right)}{12-2}\\\\m =(\frac{3+5}{12-2})\\\\ m=(\frac{8}{10})\\ \\Simplify\\m=\frac{4}{5}$
