Hello : let  A(34,12)    B(32,48)
the slope is :   (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)
(48-12)/(32-34) = 36/-2 = -18

Answer: -18

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line passing through points (p,q) and (m,n) is given by :-

[tex]\text{Slope}=\dfrac{n-q}{m-p}[/tex]

Given : A line contains the points (34, 12) and (32, 48) .

Then, the slope of line will be :-

[tex]\text{Slope}=\dfrac{48-12}{32-34}\\\\=\dfrac{36}{-2}=-18[/tex]

Hence, the slope of the line in simplified form= -18
