Question

The slope of the line passing through the points (2, 7) and (-4, 8) is

Answer 1

do you remember the equation y2-y1/x2-x1 ?

Answer 2

Use this formula if 2 points: \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)\)

Then the slope = \[\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]
This is the same as RISE UPON RUN. [we find the rise in y and run along x]
Got it? :D

Answer 3

my choices are is it -6 or -1/6 and negative 1/2. i think its -6
