Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (-23, 20) and (3, 98).

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

to find slope you use the equation (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

so that is

(98 - 20) / (3 + 23)

subtract and you get

78 / 26

26 goes into 78 3 times so this slope is 3

OR simplify it by dividing everything by 2

39 / 13

13 goes into 39 3 times so this slope is 3
