Question

What is the slope?

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

`(3)/(2)`

Explanation:

Lets take two points from this line, (4,9) and (2,6).

Method 1: Count the slope

We can use
`(rise)/(run)` to count the slope.

Counting the slope, we get
`(3)/(2)`.

Method 2: Slope formula

We can use the formula
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)` to calculate the formula.

Lets plug in the coordinates and solve.

`(6-9)/(2-4)`

`(-3)/(-2) = (3)/(2)`
