Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-2, 2) and (3, 4)?

Answer 1

slope =
`(2)/(5)`

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 4 )

m =
`(4-2)/(3-(-2))` =
`(2)/(3+2)` =
`(2)/(5)`
