Question

What is the slope of the line that passed through (-2,-1) and (12,6)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Find the slope

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{6-(-1)}{12-(-2)}$

$m=\frac{6+1}{12+2}$

$m=\frac{7}{14}$

$m=\frac{1}{2}$

Answer: The slope is 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (6 - -1)/(12 - -2)

    = (6+1)/(12+2)

    7/14

   1/2
