Question

Your teacher tells you that a line goes through the points (-6, 1/2) and (-4, 3.)

a. Calculate the slope of this line.
b. Do you think the slope will be the same if the order of the points is reversed? Verify by calculating the slope, and explain your result.

Answer 1

Explanation:

I'm pretty sure that the equation for slope is y2 -y1

-----------

x2 - x1

Substitute in the info, and simplify to find the slope.
