Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (13,-8) and (-11,4)

Answer 1

Answer:

- $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Find slope using the slope formula : $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Plug in the given points : $\frac{4- (-8)}{-11-13}$

Add the numbers : $\frac{12}{-11-13}$

Calculate the difference : $\frac{12}{-24}$

Reduce the fraction : -$\frac{1}{2}$

Solution : -$\frac{1}{2}$
