Question

What is the slope of the line below? If necessary, enter your answer as afraction in lowest terms, using the slash (/) as the fraction bar. Do not enteryour answer as a decimal number or an equation.

Answer 1

To find the slope of a line use two points (x,y) in the next formula:

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

In the given line you have the points: (-4, -9) and (-2, -3)

`m=(-3-(-9))/(-2-(-4))=(-3+9)/(-2+4)=(6)/(2)=3`

Then, the slope of the given line is 3
