Question

What is the slope of a line that goes through (2,-2) and (5,6)?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The slope formula from 2 points is:

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

So input the numbers:

m = (6 - -2) / (5 - 2)

Solve within parenthesis:

m = (8) / (3)

Then divide!
8/3 = 2 2/3

the slope of the line is 2 and 2/3
