Question

A line intersects the point (13,-4) and (1,12).Find the slope and simplify completely

Answer 1

-4/3

Explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(12-(-4))/(1-13)

m=(12+4)/-12

m=16/-12

simplify

m=-4/3

Answer 2

`m=-(4)/(3)`

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

we have

the point (13,-4) and (1,12)

substitute the values in the formula

`m=(12+4)/(1-13)`

`m=(16)/(-12)`

`m=-(16)/(12)`

simplify

`m=-(4)/(3)`
