Question

Find the slope between the two points: (3,-2) and (4,7)

Answer 1

To find slope given two points, there is a formula you can use: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Y2 stands for the second y coordinate and y1 stands for the first y coordinate. The same logic applies to the x's. Let's assume that (3, -2) is x1, y1 and (4,7) is x2, y2. Let's plug them into the formula.

(7-(-2))/(4-3).
7-(-2)=9 for total y value.

4-3=1 for the x value.

Now we divide them.
9/1=9. 9=m. M is the variable commonly used for slope. Hope this helped!
