Slope of a Line given points (2, 12) and (35, 3)

Given Coordinates: x₁ = 2  y₁ = 12,  x₂ = 35  y₂ = 3
Slope Formula: m  =  
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m  =  m  =  m  =  –    (Greatest Common Factor of 9 and 33, GCF(9, 33) = 3)m  =  –
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (2, 12) and (35, 3) is equal to  –

3/11

Note: As a decimal number,  –   ≈ -0.27272727272727
