Question

What is the slope of a line that contains points (-2.5, -24) and (4.75, 19.5)?

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2.5, - 24) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4.75, 19.5)

m = $\frac{19.5+24}{4.75+2.5}$ = $\frac{43.5}{7.25}$ = 6
