Question

What is the slope of the line that contains these points?15171921Y-10 21426slope:

Answer 1

1) Let's find the slope through the slope-intercept form equation

Let's choose two points (12,-10) (17,2)

Plugging into the slope-intercept form of the linear function formula:

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\text{ } \\ m=\frac{2-(-10)}{17-12} \\ m=\frac{12}{5} \end{gathered}$

So, the slope of this line is 12/5
