You add then subtract then divide. You have to be careful it can be tricky.
First, we have two points and we need to use these points to find the slope. To do this, let's label one point x1 and y1, the other point x2 and y2 then,
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(2, 3) - 2 is x1 and 3 is y1
(-1, -12) -1 is x2 and -12 is y2
Slope = (-12 - 3) / ( -1 - 2) = -15 / -3 = 5
Now the equation of our line is: y = 5x + b
Let's plug one of our points into this equation to solve for b.
3 = 5(2) + b
3 = 10 + b
Subtract 10 from both sides.
-7 = b
The equation of our line is: y = 5x - 7
The difference between the mixed numbers is equal to 5/6.
<h3>How to perform the subtraction between the two mixed numbers?</h3>
A mixed number is a number that is written as a whole number plus an improper fraction, here we want to compute:
(2 + 1/2) - (1 + 2/3)
We can group the whole numbers and the fractions, so we get:
(2 - 1) + (1/2 - 2/3)
Now we can simplify this so we get:
(2 - 1) + (1/2 - 2/3)
= 1 + (3/6 - 4/6) = 1 - 1/6 = 6/6 - 1/6 = 5/6
We conclude that the difference between the mixed numbers is equal to 5/6.
