Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=\frac{1}{4}$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

• Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-6, -1)

Point (6, 2)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:                    $m=\frac{2+1}{6+6}$
2. Add:                              $m=\frac{3}{12}$
3. Simplify:                        $m=\frac{1}{4}$
