Answer:

[tex]\rm slope: -\dfrac{7}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\rm Distance: 2\sqrt{85} \ units[/tex]

Part A

[tex]\sf slope: \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2- x_1} = \dfrac{\triangle y }{\triangle x} \ \ where \ (x_1 , \ y_1), ( x_2 , \ y_2) \ are \ points[/tex]

Here given points are: (6, -6), (-6, 8)

Insert the values:

[tex]\sf \rightarrow slope: \dfrac{8-(-6)}{-6-6}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \rightarrow slope: \dfrac{8+ 6}{-12}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \rightarrow slope: \dfrac{14}{-12}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \rightarrow slope: -\dfrac{7}{6}[/tex]

Part B

[tex]\sf Distance \ between \ points : \sf d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Using the formula,

[tex]\sf d = \sqrt{(-6 - 6)^2 + (8-(-6))^2}[/tex]

[tex]\sf d = \sqrt{(-12)^2 + (14)^2}[/tex]

[tex]\sf d = \sqrt{144 +196}[/tex]

[tex]\sf d = \sqrt{340}[/tex]

[tex]\sf d = \sqrt{85 \times 4}[/tex]

[tex]\sf d = 2\sqrt{85}[/tex]

Hence, the distance is 2√85 units.

Hii!
