Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the coordinates (-8,6) and (12,0)

Answer 1

$\begin{gathered} \text{slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ x_1=-8 \\ x_2=12 \\ y_1=6 \\ y_2=0 \\ \text{slope}=\frac{0_{}-6_{}}{12_{}-(-8)_{}} \\ \text{slope}=\frac{-6}{20} \\ \text{slope}=-\frac{3}{10} \end{gathered}$
