Question

Using our formula y2-y1/x2-x1, find the slope of a line through two ordered pairs show your work (-3,-4)(4,5)

Answer 1

Given:

The two points are (-3,-4) and (4,5).

To find:

The slope of the line that passes through the given points.

Solution:

The slope formula is

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

The line passes through the points (-3,-4) and (4,5). So, the slope of the line is

`m=(5-(-4))/(4-(-3))`

`m=(5+4)/(4+3)`

`m=(9)/(7)`

Therefore, the slope of the given line is
`m=(9)/(7)`.
