Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the two points given.(-2,-5) and (0,13)M=?

Answer 1

The given points are (-2,-5) and (0,13).

We use the slope formula and the points.

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

Where,

`\begin{gathered} x_1=-2 \\ x_2=0 \\ y_1=-5 \\ y_2=13 \end{gathered}`

Replacing these values, we have

`m=(13-(-5))/(0-(-2))=(13+5)/(2)=(18)/(2)=9`

Therefore, the slope is 9.
