Question

Determine the slope of the line that has the following coordinates: (1.5, 6) (3.75, -12)

Answer 1

Answer:

= -18/2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope by using the following

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

   = (-12-6)/(3.75 - 1.5)

   = -18/2.25

 

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Point A = (1.5, 6)

Point B = (3.75, -12)

Slope measures the steepnees of a line.

Formula

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

-Asign values to x1, y1, x2 and y2

    x1 = 1.5  y1  = 6  x2 = 3.75  y2 = -12

-Substitution

          m = (-12 - 6) / (3.75 - 1.5)

-Simplification

          m = -18 / 2.25

-Result

         m = 8

It is possible to simplify more the result so slope = 8.
