Question

What is the slope of the line that contains these points?

-4
-3
-2
y
2
5
8
11

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

We need only 2 points when finding slope of line.

So let's take the first 2 points:

(-4,2) & (-3,5)

Here

x_1 = -4

x_2 = -3

y_1 = 2

y_2 = 5

We use slope formula and find the slope (m):

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\m=(5-2)/(-3-(-4))\\m=(3)/(-3+4)\\m=(3)/(1)\\m=3`

The slope is 3
