Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (26, 7) and (-39, 12)?

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=-\frac{1}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have the points

(26, 7) and (-39, 12)

substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{12-7}{-39-26}$

$m=\frac{5}{-65}$

simplify

$m=-\frac{1}{13}$
