Question

What is the slope of the line that contains these pointed

Answer 1

For this you can use the slope formula, that is

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \text{Where} \\ m\colon\text{ slope of the line} \\ (x_(1,)y_1)\text{ and }(x_(2,)y_2)\text{ are any two points on the line} \end{gathered}`

So, for example if you take (x1,x2) = (-4,2) and (y1,y2) = (-2,8), you have

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m=(8-2)/(-2-(-4)) \\ m=(8-2)/(-2+4) \\ m=(6)/(2) \\ m=3 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the slope of the line that contains these points is 3.
