Question

What is the slope of AB if
A (-3, 12)
B (-11, -16)
include solving steps

Answer 1

Answer:

28/8 or 3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula to find the slope of AB

$\frac{(y_2 - y_1)}{(x_2 - x_1)}$

Here are our points:

A (-3, 12)

B (-11, -16)

Coordinates (x, y)

Now just plug in the values into the formula:

1.

$\frac{12- (-16)}{-3-(-11)}$

2.

$\frac{28}{8}$ or $3\frac{1}{2}$
