Answer:
-11/12
Step-by-step explanation:
slope for points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(x,y)
(-12,15)
(0,4)
x1=-12
y1=15
x2=0
y2=4
slope=(4-15)/(0-(-12))=-11/(0+12)=-11/12
Answer:
Slope: -11/12x
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept equation:
y = mx + b
(m = slope)
The formula for slope is below.
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }[/tex]
With your two points, you can accurately determine your slope.
(-12, 15) (0,4)
x1 = -12
y1 = 15
x2 = 0
y2 = 4
Apply this information in the slope formula to get:
[tex]\frac{4 - 15}{0 - -12}[/tex]
Change the 0 - -12 to 0 + 12
[tex]\frac{4 - 15}{0 + 12}[/tex]
4 - 15 = -11
0 + 12 = 12
Place -11 and 12 into a fraction.
[tex]\frac{-11}{12}[/tex] OR -11/12
Add "x" to the end from "mx" within the slope-intercept equation
-11/12x
