Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?

A. -3/2

B. 3/2

C. 2/3

D. -2/3

Answer 1

C. 2/3

Explanation:

You can use the equation:
`y_(2) - y_(1)/x_(2) - x_(1)` to find the slope.

y2 is equal to the y coordinate of the second point: 1

y1 is equal to the y coordinate of the first point: -7

x2 is equal to the x coordinate of the second point: 9

x1 is equal to the x coordinate of the first point: -3

So if you plug these values into the equation, you will get:

1 - (-7)/ 9- (-3)

= 1 + 7/ 9 + 3

= 8/12

= 2/3

Answer 2

2/3

Explanation:

We can find the slope using the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (1- -7)/(9 - -3)

= ( 1+7)/( 9+3)

= 8/12

Simplifying

= 2/3
