Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (14,-12) and (12,-1)

Write answer as an integer or a reduced fraction

Answer 1

-5.5 would be the correct answer

Answer 2

Here is your answer

Points are (14,-12) and (12,-1)

here, x1= 14, y1= -12, x2=12 and y2=-1

so,

Slope of given line is


`{\frac}{y2-y1}/{x2-x1}`

= -1-(-12)/12-14

= -1+12/-2

= 11/-2

= -11/2

= -5.5
