How do i find the slope when given these points?

Question

Find the slope of the line that goes through the points (12,15) and (7,4).

Answer 1

Slope=rise/run.

With these points everything's going backwards.

15-4=11

over

12-7=5

down/left=(-11,-5)

Answer 2

Use the slope equation formula:

m = (y₂ - y₁₎ ⁄ (x₂ - x₁) =

plugin the values:

(x₂ , y₂) = (12,15)

(x₁ , y₁) = ( 7, 4)

I can share the final answer if you at least try to solve this using the equation I gave.
