Answer 1

y=5/12 x+21/6

Explanation:

Answer 2

The slope of the lines passing through given points is
`(5)/(12)`.

Explanation:

Given,

The given two points are (6,6) and (-6,1).

To find the slope of the line passing through the points.

Formula

The slope of the line passing through (
`x_(1) ,y_(1)`) and (
`x_(2) ,y_(2)`) is
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

Now,

Putting,
`x_(1)=6, y_(1)=6, x_(2)=-6, y_(2)= 1` we get,

Slope =
`(1-6)/(-6-6)` =
`(-5)/(-12)` =
`(5)/(12)`

Hence,

The slope of the lines passing through given points is
`(5)/(12)`.
