Question

Find the slope of the line through (-4, 2) and (5,8) on a coordinate plane

Answer 1

Slope = 2 / 3

Explanation:

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

y2 is the y coordinate of the second ordered pair and y1 is the y coordinate of the first ordered pair. x2 is the x coordinate of the second ordered pair and x1 is the x coordinate of the first ordered pair.

=(8-2) / (5+4)

= 6 / 9

Slope = 2 / 3

Answer 2

Answer: m = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation: Use the slope formula to find the slope m.

: m = slope :

: slope of a line : m = rise/run = y2-y1/x2-x1 :

: (x1,y1) : coordinates of first point in the line :

: (x2,y2) : coordinates of second point in the line :
