Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the equation: $y_{2} - y_{1}/x_{2} - x_{1}$ to find the slope.

y2 is equal to the y coordinate of the second point: 1

y1 is equal to the y coordinate of the first point: -7

x2 is equal to the x coordinate of the second point: 9

x1 is equal to the x coordinate of the first point: -3

So if you plug these values into the equation, you will get:

1 - (-7)/ 9- (-3)

= 1 + 7/ 9 + 3

= 8/12

= 2/3

Answer 2

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope using the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (1- -7)/(9 - -3)

   = ( 1+7)/( 9+3)

   = 8/12

Simplifying

   = 2/3
