Question

Find the slope of the line using the two given points.

(0, -2) and (3, 4)

Answer 1

m = 2

Explanation:

Using the slope formula, we can find the slope of two points:

y2 - y1

m = --------------

x2 - x1

The slope is the same thing as change in y over change in x. Now, plugging in the points (0, -2) and (3, 4):

4 - (-2) 4 + 2 6

m = ----------- = ------- = ------ = 2

3 - 0 3 3

So the slope is 2.
