Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through (-2, 7) and (4, 9)? slope = - slope = slope = 3

Answer 1

Hi!

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$\frac{9-7}{4-(-2)}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{2}{6/3=2}=\frac{2}{2}=1$

Slope is 1

Answer is 1.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(X1,Y1)=(-2,7)

(X2,Y2)=(4,9)

Slope=Y2-Y1/X2-X1

=9-7/4-(-2)

=2/4+2

=2/6

Slope=1/3
