Question

Find the slope of the line below

Answer 1

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\boxed{slope = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} }$

☆ (x₁, y₁) is the first coordinate and (x₂, y₂) is the second coordinate.

Given that the two points (-12, 10) and (-10, 6) lie on the line,

slope of the line

$= \frac{10 - 6}{ - 12 - ( - 10)}$

$= \frac{4}{ - 12 + 10}$

$= \frac{4}{ - 2}$

$= - 2$

Extra:

The line has a negative slope as looking from the left to right, the line is sloping downwards.
