Question

Consider the line through (-1, -4) and (1, 2).  What is the slope (m) of the line?​

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Explanation:

• $\bold{\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}$

$\bold{\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-1,\:-4\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(1,\:2\right)}$

$\bold{m=\frac{2-\left(-4\right)}{1-\left(-1\right)}}$

• Refine

m = 3
