Question

What is the slope of the line through (2, - 2) and (9, 3)?

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = $\frac{5}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, 3)

m = $\frac{3+2}{9-2}$ = $\frac{5}{7}$
