Question

Calculate the slope of the line given the two points (-3, 1) and (4, 6).

A. 3/7
B. 5/7
C. 2/5
D. 3

Answer 1

The slope of the line passing through the points (-3, 1) and (4, 6) is 5/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the slope of a line given two points, we use the formula:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Using the points (-3, 1) and (4, 6), we substitute the values into the formula:

slope = (6 - 1) / (4 - (-3))

slope = 5 / 7

Therefore, the slope of the line is 5/7 (option B).
