Question

What is the slope between the points (2, 3) and (-1, 12)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge \boxed {slope = - 3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$m = \frac{rise}{run}$

The slope is the change of y over the change of x.

$m = \frac{12 - 3}{ - 1 - 2} \\ m = \frac{9}{ - 3} \\ m = - \frac{9}{3} \\ m = - 3$

Therefore, the slope is -3.

Answer 2

you do x1-y1 and x2-y2 (2-12=-10) and ( 3—1=4) and get -10/4 which converts to -5/2
