What is the slope of the line that passes through the points left bracket, 1, comma, 6, right bracket(1,6) and left bracket, 13, comma, 2, right bracket(13,2)? Write your answer in simplest form.
The slope is -4/3.
The formula for finding the slope of a line passing through two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by:
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Plug in the given points:
m = (2-6)/(13-1)
m = -4/12
m = -1/3
Therefore, the slope is -4/3.
