Question

Identify the slope of (2,6) and (-1,3).

Answer 1

The slope of a line can be found with the following formula:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

So you can see that it is the difference between the y-coordinates and the difference between the x-coordinates for two points on the line.

For this case, you know two points on the line:
