Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through (-2, 7) and (4, 9)?

Answer 1

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{9-7}{4-(-2)}\implies \cfrac{9-7}{4+2}\implies \cfrac{2}{6}\implies \cfrac{1}{3}$
