Question

Find the slope of the line segment containing the points (4, 3) and (-2, 7). i believe the answer is 3/2

Answer 1

\[m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]

Answer 2

m = slope

Answer 3

7-3/-2-4

Answer 4

you have

7 - 3
-----
-2 -4

Answer 5

Well, there you have it, three responses, ranging from subtle, to strong, to direct.

:D

Answer 6

Then after use the point-slope formula.

Answer 7

^While that is good practice, I must point out that only the slope is required for this particular question :)

Though, for future reference, the point-slope form is
\[\Large y - y_0 = m(x-x_0)\]
