Question

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

a)-2/5
b)2/5
c)5/2
d)-5/2

Answer 1

Answer: B. 2/5 *The answer must have a fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: →
`y=mx+b`

m: represents the slope and is constant.

b: represents the y-intercept.

Used rise/run.

`(rise)/(run)`

`x^1,y^1=(-2,2)`

`x^2,y^2=(3,4)`

You had to find the slope by using formula.

`Slope=(y^2-y^1)/(x^2-x^1)`

`(4-2)/(3-(-2))`

subtract by the numbers and add the numbers too.

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

`=(2)/(5)`

Hope this helps!
