Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-4,-4) and (2,5)​

Answer 1

3/2

Explanation:

Use the slope formula:

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

m = (5-(-4))/(2-(-4))

m = 9/6

m = 3/2

Answer 2

To find the answer to this question, all we need to do is use the slope formula!

Slope formula:
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

(-4, -4) is
`x_(1) y_(1)`

and

(2,5) is
`x_(2) y_(2)`

Now lets plug in the points

`(5- (-4))/(2- (-4))`

solve this simple subtraction problem!

5 - (-4) = 9

2 - (-4) = 6

Now we have :
`(9)/(6)`

Let's simplify since 9 and 6 both have a common factor of 3

Your final answer is...

The slope of the line passing through the points is
`(3)/(2)` !!
