the
slope
of
the line
through (4,-6), (7,2)

Answer 1

Slope =
`(8)/(3)`

Explanation:

The slope is the change in y coordinates by the change in x coordinates.

We find the change from Point 2 to Point 1, given:

Point 2 is (7,2)

and

Point 1 is (4,-6)

Change in y-ccordinates is 2-(-6) = 2 + 6 = 8

Change in x-ccordinates is 7 - 4 = 3

Thus,

slope = 8/3
