Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (8, -6) and (11 -12)

Answer 1

Answer: slope = -1.5

Explanation:

Slope is found by using this equation:

`(\Delta y)/(\Delta x)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`(x_2,y_2)` is the final point and
`(x_1,y_1)` is the initial point

Therefore:

`(-12-(-6))/(12-8)=(-6)/(4)=-1.5`
