Question

9. GRIDDED RESPONSE Find the slope of the line that contains the points (4, 3) and (-2, -5).

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = $\frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 2, - 5)

m = $\frac{-5-3}{-2-4}$ = $\frac{-8}{-6}$ = $\frac{4}{3}$
