A line contains the points (-12,-60) and (60,-42). What is thr slope of the line in simplified form?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

-42 - (-60) = 18

60 - (-12) = 72

18 ÷ 18 = 1

72 ÷ 18 = 4

slope = 1/4

Answer:

[tex]\frac14[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

(-12,-60)

(60,-42)

First coordinates are -12 and 60

Second coordinates are -60 and -42

Create the fracture

in numerator you write both second coordinates, first one normal, and the second one with an opposite sign!

in denominator write both first coordinates, first one normal and the second one with an opposite sign

[tex]\frac{-60+42}{-12-60}[/tex]

simplify the fracture

[tex]\frac{-60+42}{-12-60}=\frac{-18}{-72}=\frac{18}{72}=\frac9{36}=\frac3{12}=\frac14[/tex]
