Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-6,5) and (6,2).​

Answer 1

Answer:

If you want a fraction it would be -1/4 if you want a decimal it would be -0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to take your X2- your X1 and you take your Y2- your Y1

Then you divide Y/X

So Your X2 would be 6 and X1 would be -6 and that would become a positive 12.

And your Y2 would be 2 and your Y1 would be 5 which would give you -3 when you subtract.

Then divide it 12/-3 which would give you -1/4 since you have to flip your fraction.

I hope this helps

Answer 2

$\text{To find slope, you would use this equation:}\\\\\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\\\\\text{Plug in the coordinates to its right spot}\\\\\frac{2-5}{6+6}\\\\\text{Solve:}\\\\\frac{2-5}{6+6}\\\\\frac{-3}{12}\\\\\text{Simplify:}\\\\\frac{-3}{12}\\\\\boxed{\frac{-1}{4}}$
