Question

What’s the slope of 10,6 and 4, 1.2

Answer 1

let's firstly change the 1.2 to a fraction

$1.\underline{2}\implies \cfrac{12}{1\underline{0}}\implies \cfrac{6}{5} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{\frac{6}{5}}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{\frac{6}{5}}-\stackrel{y1}{6}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{4}-\underset{x_1}{10}}}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{6-30}{5}~~}{-6}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{-24}{5}~~}{-6}\implies \cfrac{~~ -\frac{24}{5}~~}{-\frac{6}{1}}$

$-\cfrac{\stackrel{4}{~~\begin{matrix} 24 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}{5}\cdot -\cfrac{1}{\underset{1}{~~\begin{matrix} 6 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{4}{5}}$
