Question

What is the slope of a line that runs through (-2,4) and (3,7)

Answer 1

Answer: m=0.6

Explanation:

Use the m= y2-y1/x2-x1 formula to calculate slope.

7-4=3

Divided by

3-(-2)=5

3/5= 3/5 or 0.6

Answer 2

slope = 3/5

Explanation:

slope = rise/run

---------------------------

y rises from 4 to 7 = 3

x runs from -2 to 3 = 5

slope = 3/5
