Question

Find the slope for the following pair of points:
(12,-16) and (3,0)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Slope (m)

-1.7778

m = 16 / -9 = -1.778

Answer 2

16/9

Explanation:

We can find the slope given two points by using the following formula

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

= (0--16)/(3-12)

= (0+16)/(3-12)

=16/9
