If A(x_1,y_1)A(x1,y1) and B(x_2,y_2)B(x2,y2) are two points then the slope mm of line between these two points is given by.

m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)m=y2−y1x2−x1

Here let A(x_1,y_1)A(x1,y1) represent (-12,32)(−12,32) and B(x_2,y_2)B(x2,y2) represent (6,-6)(6,−6).

implies m=(-6-32)/(6-(-12))=-38/(6+12)=-38/18=-19/9⇒m=−6−326−(−12)=−386+12=−3818=−199

implies m=-19/9⇒m=−199

Hence the slope of the line passing through the given points is -19/9−199.
