Question

(6, 20) and (12, 15). What is the slope of the line

Answer 1

What is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{5}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the slope m, using the slope formula

• m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, 20 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (12, 15 )

substitute these values into the formula for m

m = $\frac{15-20}{12-6}$ = $\frac{-5}{6}$ = - $\frac{5}{6}$
