Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-7,2) and (9,6) .

Answer 1

Use the slope formula.

Answer 2

\[m=\frac{y _{2}-y _{1}}{x _{2}-x _{1}}\]

Answer 3

use the slope formula...
slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-7,2) x1 = -7, y1 = 2
(9,6) x2 = 9, y2 = 6

Now sub all your stuff in and you will have the slope.

Answer 4

Okay Thanks Everyone (:

Answer 5

anytime :)

Answer 6

use the slope -point formula: Y-Y1=M(X-X1) this implies M(slope)=Y2-Y1/X2-X1=6-2/9+7=4/16=1/4 THEREFORE m=1/4=0.25.
