Question

Find the slope of the line given below by finding the rise and run. Also show or explain why the slope can be found from any two points that fall on the line.

Answer 1

The slope of the line is
$\frac{3}{2}$
It can be found from any two points that fall on a line by using the formula
$y2 - y1 \\ - - - - \\ x2 - x1$
2 is x or y from the second point and 1 is x or y from the first point

For example in that problem the first point is -2,0 and the second one is 0,3
