Question

What is the Slope of a line that passes through the points (-3,5) and (1,7) ?

Answer 1

Find the change in the y coordinates

7-5=2

Find the change in the x coordinates 

1--3 or 1+3= 4

Divide the changes in the y and x coordinates

2/4= 1/2

The slope is 1/2. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Hello there!

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: $\frac{Y^2-Y^1}{X^2-X^1}=\frac{rise}{run}$

$\frac{7-5=2}{1-(-3)=1+3=4}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{2/2}{4/2}=\frac{1}{2}$

Slope is 1/2

Answer is 1/2

Have a great day!

Hope this helps!
