Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4,2) and (2,6)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\text{The slope}\ m=\dfrac{2}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

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

We have the points (-4, 2) and (2, 6). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{6-2}{2-(-4)}=\dfrac{4}{6}=\dfrac{4:2}{6:2}=\dfrac{2}{3}$
