Question

2 Find the slope from the 2 points. (-12,-9) and ( 18, 6) -2 -1/2 2 1/2

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line is the ratio y/x.

that means when going from one point to the other, how many units is y changing, when x changes a certain number of units.

so, going from one point to the other here, x changes by 30 units (from -12 to +18). and y changes 15 units (from -9 to 6).

therefore, the slope is

15/30 = 1/2
