Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the given points (1, -4) and (3, 2)?

Answer 1

Hi there! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Lesson: Slope and slope-intercept form

$SLOPE=\frac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}=\frac{RISE}{RUN}$

$\frac{2-(-4)}{3-1}=\frac{6}{2}=3$

Slope is 3

Final answer is 3.

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

I hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)
