Question 243507: Find the slope, if it exists, of the line containing the two pairs of points.
(-12,1) and (-14,5)
The slope m=?
I need an iterger or simlified fraction.
Can you please help me with this one?

The slope of a line can be found using the following equation:
...or...
.
We would then substitute the x and y values in the equation to determine the slope.
.
Let (-12,1) be (x1,y1)
Let (-14,5) be (x2,y2)
.




<--- Here's the answer!
.




<--- we get the same answer with the second equation.
.
Done! :)
