What is the slope of the line passing through # (-6,12);(-11,7) #?

Answer 1

Eli Assouline

The slope of a line may be thought as the change in y-coor over the change in x-coor.

#slope=m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) = (12-7)/(-6-(-11))# #m = 5/5=1#

To find the slope of the line passing through two points, you can use the formula: (m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}). Substituting the coordinates ((-6,12)) and ((-11,7)) into the formula, we get: (m = \frac{7 - 12}{-11 - (-6)} = \frac{-5}{-5} = 1). Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the given points is 1.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
