Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Slope is equal to the change in y over the change in x
, or rise over run.
</u>
<u>m
=
change in y
/change in x</u>
The change in x is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in y is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise).
m
=
