What is the slope of a line that passes through (2, -5) and (6, -2)?


-4/3


-3/4


3/4


4/3

Answer 1

3/4

Explanation:

Going from the first point to the second, we see the x-coordinate (the 'run') increasing by 4 and the y-coordinate increasing by 3. Thus, the slope of the line going through these two points is

m = rise / run = 3/4
