Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4,2) and (2,6)

Answer 1

`\large\boxed{\text{The slope}\ m=(2)/(3)}`

Explanation:

The formula of a slope:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We have the points (-4, 2) and (2, 6). Substitute:

`m=(6-2)/(2-(-4))=(4)/(6)=(4:2)/(6:2)=(2)/(3)`
