Question

What is the slope of line segment AB? Keep as a reduced fraction.
B
A

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

Use rise over run (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) where (x1, x2) and (y1, y2) are points on the line

Plug in the points A (-3, -2) and B (1, 6)

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(6 + 2) / (1 + 3)

8 / 4

= 2

So, the slope of line segment AB is 2.
