Question

Find the slope of the line passing through points(-6, 3) and (2, 5).

Type answer as a simplified fraction with no spaces.

Answer 1

`\large\boxed{slope=(1)/(4)}`

Explanation:

The formula of a slope:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We have two points (-6, 3) and (2, 5).

Substitute:

`m=(5-3)/(2-(-6))=(2)/(2+6)=(2)/(8)=(2:2)/(8:2)=(1)/(4)`
