ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF ITS RIGHT
Vesna [10]

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is found by doing:

\frac{y_1 - y}{x_1 - x}

(x1 and y1 must be from the same ordered pair and x and y must be from the same ordered pair, however point (x1,y1) and (x,y) can be used interchangeably)

Let us say that (x1,y1) is (3,18)

And (x,y) is (5,30)

\frac{18 - 30}{3 - 5} = \frac{-12}{-2} = 6
