Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points
and
. (2,-4) and (7,5)

Answer 1

When finding the slope of a line (m) passing through 2 points (-9, -6) and (-9, -8) we can use the slope formula.
\[m = \frac{ Y2- Y1 }{ X2-X1 }\]
Lets use point (2,-4) as (x1,y1) and point(7,5) as (x2,y2).

\[m = \frac{ 5 - (-4) }{ 7 - 2 }\]

which further becomes

\[m = \frac{ 9 }{ 5 }\]

which is the slope
