Question

Find the slope of the line that goes through the two given points (-2, 2) and (4, 14).

Answer 1

( -2, 2 ) ( 4, 14 )
X. Y. X. Y
Use this formula:

Change in y. 14-2
———————. = ——
Change in x. 4 - (-2)

So your slope in going to be 7
—
6

Answer 2

Slope(m) = 2

Explanation:

A(-2, 2) ; B(4, 14)

m = (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1) (slope Formula)

m = (14 - 2) / (4 - (-2))

m = 12 / 6

m = 2
