Question

Find the slope of the line through the pair of points (17, -12) (11, 5)

Answer 1

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula: $\frac{Y^2^-^Y^1}{X^2-X^1}=\frac{rise}{run}$

$Y^2,Y^1=(5,-12)$

$X^2,X^1=(11,17)$

$\frac{5-(-12)=5+12=17}{11-17=-6}=\frac{17}{-6}$

Answer: $\frac{17}{-6}$

Slope is 17.

Y-intercept is -6.

Hope this helps!
