what would be the slope of the line passing through (-6, 7) and (12, -10) ?

Answer 1

Hello Casey,

The formula for the slope of a line is m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

You are the given the points (-6, 7) and (12, -10)

Here: x1 = -6, y1 = 7, x2 = 12, y2 = -10

so m = (-10-7)/(12- -6) = -17/18

So the slope of this line is m = -17/18

Cheers.
