Question

What is the slope for (2, -12), (18, 15)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{27}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : (2,-12) and (18,15)

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

Solve:

Plugin coordinates to variables

• $\frac{15 - (-12)}{18 - 2}$
• $\frac{27}{16}$

The slope is $\frac{27}{16}$

Answer 2

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\mathsf{Formula: m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}$

$\mathsf{EQUATION: m = \dfrac{15 - (-12)}{18-2}}\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{15- (-12)}{18-2}}\\\\\mathsf{= \dfrac{15 + 12}{18-2}}\\\\\mathsf{= \dfrac{27}{16}}\\\\\mathsf{\approx 1\dfrac{11}{16}}\\\\\mathsf{\approx 1.6875}\\\\\huge\text{Therefore, your answer is: \boxed{\mathsf{\dfrac{27}{16}\ or\ 1\dfrac{11}{16}}}}\huge\checkmark\\\\\large\textsf{EITHER OF THOSE SHOULD WORK BECAUSE THEY ARE}\\\large\textsf{EQUIVALENT TO EACH OTHER!}\large\checkmark$
