Question #41503 Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer Emani · Stefan V. Feb 16, 2018 #-11/12# Explanation: The slope for points #(x_1,y_1)# and #(x_2,y_2)# is #"slope" = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)# Here #(x,y) = {((-"12, 15")), (("0, 4")) :}# So #x_1=-12# #y_1=15# #x_2=0# #y_2=4# Hence #"slope" = (4-15)/(0-(-12))= (-11)/(0+12)=-11/12# #"slope" =-11/12# Answer link Related questions What is Slope?
