Question

a line intersects the point (13,-4) and (1,12).Find the slope and simplify completely

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=-\frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have

the point (13,-4) and (1,12)

substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{12+4}{1-13}$

$m=\frac{16}{-12}$

$m=-\frac{16}{12}$

simplify

$m=-\frac{4}{3}$

Answer 2

Answer:

-4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(12-(-4))/(1-13)

m=(12+4)/-12

m=16/-12

simplify

m=-4/3
