Question

find the slope of a line that passes through points (4,-6) and (7,2)

Answer 1

Slope of a line is change in y divided by change in x
Slope = ∆y/∆x = (2+6)/(7-4) = 8/3

Answer 2

Hi!

Step-by-step explanation:

$Slope=\frac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}=\frac{RISE}{RUN}$

$\frac{2-(-6)}{7-4}=\frac{2+6=8}{7-4=3}=\frac{8}{3}$

8/3 is the slope!

Final answer is 8/3.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)
