Question

What is the slope of the line between `(2,-7)` and `(12,-5)`?

Answer 1

`"slope "=1/5`

Explanation:

`"to calculate the slope m use the "color(blue)"gradient formula"`

`•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`"let "(x_1,y_1)=(2,-7)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(12,-5)`

`rArrm=(-5-(-7))/(12-2)=2/10=1/5`
