Question

Melina graphed a line which passes through the points (-4, 2) and (6, 8). What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

The answer is

`(3)/(5) \\`

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

`m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\`

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-4, 2) and (6, 8)

The slope is

`m = (8 - 2)/(6 + 4) = (6)/(10) = (3)/(5) \\`

We have the final answer as

`(3)/(5) \\`

Hope this helps you
