Question

Find the slope of the line passing through points(-6, 3) and (2, 5).

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{slope=\dfrac{1}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have two points (-6, 3) and (2, 5).

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{5-3}{2-(-6)}=\dfrac{2}{2+6}=\dfrac{2}{8}=\dfrac{2:2}{8:2}=\dfrac{1}{4}$
