Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1,6) and (13, 2)? Write
your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=-\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\ \\m=\frac{2-6}{13-1}\\ \\m=\frac{-4}{12}\\ \\m=-\frac{1}{3}$

Therefore, the slope of the line that passes through the points $(x_1,y_1)\rightarrow(1,6)$ and $(x_2,y_2)\rightarrow(13,2)$ is $m=-\frac{1}{3}$
