Question

Please select the correct slope of the line through the points (-2, 3) and (1, 4)

Answer 1

1st find the slope using (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

x1=-2
x2=1
y1=3
y2=4

Answer 2

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
&({\color{red}{ -2}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 3}})\quad &({\color{red}{ 1}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 4}})
\end{array}
\\\quad \\

slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}}{{\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}}}\)
