Question

What is the given slope of the line that passes through the given points
(2,12) and (6,11)

Answer 1

The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Using the given points (2,12) and (6,11), we can calculate the slope as follows:

slope = (11 - 12) / (6 - 2)
= -1 / 4

Therefore, the given slope of the line passing through the given points is -1/4.
