The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be calculated using the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Given the points (2, 3) and (-1, -12), we can substitute the coordinates into the formula:
slope = (-12 - 3) / (-1 - 2)
slope = (-15) / (-3)
slope = 5
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 3) and (-1, -12) is 5.
What is the slope of the line that will pass through the points (2, 3) and (−1, −12)?
