Slope of the line through the points (-16, 17) and (12, -18)



m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29


m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+%28x%5B1%5D%29%29


m+=+%28-18+-+17%29%2F%2812+-+%28-16%29%29


m+=+%28-18+-+17%29%2F%2812+%2B+16%29


m+=+%28-35%29%2F%2828%29


m+=+-5%2F4



Answer: Slope is m+=+-5%2F4
