Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-9, 2) and (1, 27)?

Answer 1

The answer is

`\huge (5)/(2) \\`

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) \\`

From the question the points are

(-9, 2) and (1, 27)

We have

`m = (27 - 2)/(1 - - 9) = (25)/(1 + 9) = (25)/(10) = (5)/(2) \\`

We have the final answer as

`(5)/(2) \\`

Hope this helps you
