Question

What is the slope of a line passing through points (-12.6) and (4, -8)

Answer 1

Answer:

On what do you have a graph?

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

For this case we have that by definition, the slope of a line is given by:

$m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}$

In this case we have to:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (-12,6)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (4, -8)$

Substituting we have:

$m = \frac {-8-6} {4 - (- 12)} = \frac {-14} {4 + 12} = \frac {-14} {16} = - \frac {7} {8}$

Thus, we have that the slope of the line is given by:

$m = - \frac {7} {8}$

Answer:

$m = - \frac {7} {8}$
