Question

Answer as quickly as you possibly can

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the slope, or the change in y coordinates over change in x-coordinates.

The first given point is E(-2, -4)

The second point is F(2, 2)

Coordinates are given in (x, y), so following the equation and computing the  x and y coordinates of E - F for both the numerator and denominator:

$\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{-4 -2}{-2 -2} = \frac{-6}{-4} = \frac{3}{2}$

You could also have went the other way and calculated F - E for the numerator and denominator and get the same answer.

Finally, to check you can also look at the graph through the rise over run (rise/run) method and see that from E, you go up 3 (rise) and to the right 2 (run) to get to the next point on the line.
