Question

A line intersects the points

Answer 1

The slope of this line in  its simplest form is -3.

Given the following points:

• Points on the x-axis = (7, 11)

• Points on the y-axis = (6, -6)

To determine the slope of this line in  its simplest form:

The slope of a line refers to the gradient of a line and it describes both the direction and steepness of an equation of a straight line.

Mathematically, the slope of a line is calculated by using this formula;

$Slope. \;m = \frac{Change \; in \; y \;axis}{Change \; in \; x \;axis} \\\\Slope. \;m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$Slope, \;m = \frac{-6 - 6}{11 - 7}\\\\Slope, \;m = \frac{-12}{4}$

Slope, m = -3.
