Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (13,-8) and (-11,4)

Answer 1

-
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Find slope using the slope formula :
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Plug in the given points :
`(4- (-8))/(-11-13)`

Add the numbers :
`(12)/(-11-13)`

Calculate the difference :
`(12)/(-24)`

Reduce the fraction : -
`(1)/(2)`

Solution : -
`(1)/(2)`
