Using the slope formula, find the slope of the line through the given points.
(12,0) and (2,-2)
What is the slope of the line? Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
A. The slope of the line is ______
B. The slope of the line is undefined.
The slope of the line through the given points can be found using the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Substituting the given coordinates:
slope = (-2 - 0) / (2 - 12) = -2 / -10 = 1/5
So, the slope of the line is 1/5.
The correct choice is:
A. The slope of the line is 1/5
