Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3,4) and (0,-2)? Write your answer in simplist form.

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

The slope intercept form definition

y= mx + b is the slope intercept form of a line where m is the slope and b is the y -intercept

Slope between two points:

`\text{Slope}=((y_2-y_1))/((x_2-x_1))`

(x1,y1) = (3,4) , (x2,y2) = (0,-2)

`m=(-2-4)/(0-3)`

Refine

m=2

The slope of the line that passes through the points (3,4) and (0,-2) is m=2
