Question

A line crosses the coordinates (-2,-5) and (4.4). What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Plot the points (-2, -5) and (4, 4) on a graph.

2. Count how many units up and how many units over you have to go to get from the first point to the second. You go up 9 and over 6. That means the slope is 9/6.

3. Reduce 9/6 to 3/2.
