Question

Find the slope of the line through the given pair of points.
(-2, 18), (10,3)

Answer 1

Given two points P1=(-2,18) and P2=(10,3), we can calculate the slope of the line that pass through them as:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{3-18}{10-(-2)}=\frac{-15}{12}=-\frac{5}{4}=-1.25$

Answer: the slope is -5/4 or -1.25.
