Question

What is the slope given the two points? (-3,12) & (4,5)

Answer 1

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

(-3 , 12)  & (4, 5)

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

          $= \frac{5 - 12}{4-[-3]}\\\\= \frac{-7}{4+3}\\\\=\frac{-7}{7}\\\\= -1$

Answer 2

Answer: -1

Explanation:

Let, (-3,12) be (x1,y1) and (4,5) be (x2,y2)

We know that slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

So, slope of given two points = (5 - 12)/(4 - (-3))

= -7/(4+3)

= -7/7

= -1

Therefore, slope of given two points = -1
