Question

Using the slope​ formula, find the slope of the line through the given points.
12,0 and 2,-5

Answer 1

Answer:

$\textsf{A.} \quad \textsf{The slope of the line is }\boxed{\dfrac12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\textsf{let}\:(x_1,y_1)=(12,0)$

$\textsf{let}\:(x_2,y_2)=(2,-5)$

$\textsf{slope}\:(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{-5-0}{2-12}=\dfrac12$

$\textsf{The slope of the line is }\boxed{\dfrac12}$
