Question

Find the slope of the line containing the points (-3, -6) and (4, 7).

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{13}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

→ State the slope formula

( y₂ - y₁ ) ÷ ( x₂ - x₁ )

→ Substitute in the values

( 7 - -6 ) ÷ ( 4 - -3 )

→ Simplify

$\frac{13}{7}$

Answer 2

Answer:

slope = $\frac{13}{7}$

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 ) = (- 3, - 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 7)

m = $\frac{7-(-6)}{4-(-3)}$ = $\frac{7+6}{4+3}$ = $\frac{13}{7}$
