Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?
(-1,-4)
(2, 2)

Answer 1

The slope is 2.
The equation is y = 2x - 2

Answer 2

2

Explanation:

To find the slope, you need to use the term y2-y1/x2-x1

To do this, first do:

-4-2:

-6

Now, do -1-2=

-3

Now, since -6/-3 has two negatives, the fraction will turn into

6/3

Now simplify

2.

The slope of the line is two.
