Question

What is the slope for (2, -1)(3,4)?

Answer 1

To find the slope, using the coordinates, you will plug them into the slope formula.

Slope formula: $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

You plug in the 2nd Y-cordinate in y2 and the 1st y-coordinate in y one. Then you do the same thing for the-x coordinates. Plug in the 2nd x-cordinate in x2, and 1st x-cordinate in x1.

You plug in 4 and -1 in the y2 and y1, respectively. Also, you plug in 3 and 2 in x2 and x1 respectively  

The equation you're going to get after plugging in is:

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

4-(-1) is the same as 4+1, so you add them. The subtract 3-2. Then you will end up with the fraction, further solving it will get you your answer.

$\frac{4+1}{3-2}=\frac{5}{1}=5$

The answer you will get is 5 after completing all of the steps with the slope formula.

The slope of the line is 5
