Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the points: (-4,3) and (4,9)

Answer 1

I believe the slope is 3/4

9-3 = 6
4 - (-4) = 8

Simplify to get 3/4

Answer 2

Answer:

slope = $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 9)

m = $\frac{9-3}{4+4}$ = $\frac{6}{8}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$
