Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (–2, 5) and (1, 11)?

Answer 1

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$\frac{11-5=6}{1-(-2)=1+2=3}=\frac{6}{3}=2$

Slope is 2.

Answer is 2.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Answer 2

$Slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{11-5}{1-(-2)} = \frac{6}{1+2} = \frac{6}{3} = \boxed{\bf{2}}$

The answer is B) 2.
