Answer:

Slope = 7/4

Explanation:

You are given coordinate values and a formula that tells you what to do with them. All you need to do is put the values in the formula and do the arithmetic.

Points

You are given points (2, -3) and (6, 4). The slope formula refers to the two points as (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). It does not matter which is which.

If we use the points in the same order they are given, then we can see that ...

  • x1 = 2
  • y1 = -3
  • x2 = 6
  • y2 = 4

Formula

Using these values in the given formula, we find the slope to be ...


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(4-(-3))/(6-2)=(7)/(4)

The slope of the line through the given points is 7/4.
