Question

Find the slope of the line in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

$-\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the given line, slope is the rise divided by the run of a line.

  Slope  = $\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }$

  Picking points (4, 18)  and (8, 12)

 Now;

  x₁  = 4

  y₁  = 18

  x₂ = 8

  y₂ = 12

  Slope  = $\frac{12 - 18}{8-4}$   = $-\frac{6}{4}$   = $-\frac{3}{2}$
