Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (–2, 5) and (1, 11)?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

m is your slope.

Answer 3

\[Slope = \frac{ \Delta y }{ \Delta x }\]

Answer 4

y2: 11
y1: 5
x2: 1
x1: -2

Fill in the values and solve.

Answer 5

-6?

Answer 6

Your coordinates are

\[\huge (x _{1},y _{1}), ~ (x _{2}, y _{2})\]

Answer 7

Nope, not -6

Answer 8

Then its 2? right

Answer 9

Yes.
