The slope as a simplified fraction is : - [tex]\frac{-2}{3}[/tex]
Meaning of slope
Slope or gradient is the degree of steepness of a line.It is the ratio of the chance in the y- coordinates to the change in the x-coordinates of a line.
m( slope) = [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
Given data
x1 = 10, x2 = 4, y1 = 8, y2 = 12
Therefore the slope can be calculated as :
m = [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
m = [tex]\frac{12-8}{4-10}[/tex] = -4/6 = -2/3
In conclusion the slope of the points (10,8) and (4,12) as a simplified fraction is -2/3
