Question

#2 Find the slope given the points (6,-12) and (15,-3)*

Answer 1

Greetings :)

To find slope of two points we will need to use this equation:   $\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}$

 $x^1$     $x^2$     $y^1$    $y^2$  

( 6 , -12 ) ( 15 , -3 )

Now let's replace the equation with the numbers. (it will be a fraction).

$\frac{-3-(-12)}{15-12}$         =         $\frac{9}{9}$

The equation equals 9 over 9, which also equals 1.

The slope of the line is 1.
