Question

Which characteristic of the line that passes through the points (6,10) and (12,2)..

Answer 1

SOLUTION:

Let us find the slope of the line:

$m\text{ = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Where x1 = 6, x2 = 12, y1 = 10 and y2 = 2

$\begin{gathered} m\text{ = }\frac{2-10}{12-6} \\ m\text{ = }\frac{-8}{6}\text{ = -}\frac{4}{3} \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

The slope of the given line is -4/3
