Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through (-2,7) and (4, 9)? Type a numerical answer in the space provided. If

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use slope formula. (the change in Y over the change in X = Slope [x1-x2/y1-y2 = slope]). I believe you can also use point slope formula, but I forgot how to do that one.

First, you would set up the equation.

7-9/-2-4 OR 9-7/4+2

you would then solve to get

-2/-6 OR 2/6

when simplified you get

1/3

for both. Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$slope=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\=\frac{9-7}{4-(-2)}\\\\=\frac{2}{4+2}\\\\=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$
