Find the slope given the following points: (12,-2) and (4,-6)

slope=1/2 or

y=1/2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

use the y1-y2/x2-x1 method and y=mx+b method

plug in the -2 and -6 into the y's value

then plug in 12 and 4 into the x's value

-2+6=4

12-4=8

4/8 that can reduce to 1/2

_________________

you can plug it into the y=mx+b method

plug in 12 for x

-2 for y

and 1/2 for m

-2=1/2(12)+b

1/2 *12=6

-2=6+b

substract 6 on both sides

-8=b and ur b is ur y-intercept

y=1/2x-8

hope this helps
