Question

What is the slope of the line that passes thru (7,2) and (9,6)?

Answer 1

Hey there Hopire :)
To solve this, we'll use the slope given two points formula. Here it is:

y2-y1/x2-x1

Plug in the values.

6-2/9-7 =

4/2 =

2

Therefore, the slope is two, meaning 2/1 because slope is rise/run. That means that for every two you go up, you go one to the right because it's a positive slope- left for negatives.

Hope this helped!
