Answer: No, he should have put the x values in the denominator and the y values in the numerator
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for calculate the slope is:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
You can observe in the formula that the y values must be in the numerator and the x values must be in the denominator.
Then, the correct slope is:
[tex]m=\frac{14.00-13.00}{12-8}\\\\m=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Then, Garret's slope is incorrect, because he should have put the x values in the denominator and the y values in the numerator.
