Question

Find the slope of a line passing through the given points.
(-4, 2) and (5,6)
slope =

Answer 1

4/9

Explanation:

To find slope without a graph, you subtract the 2 y-coords and the 2 x-coords, then divide the y-coord by the x-coord.

The formula is (y²-y¹)/(x²-x¹).

So we just plug in the coordinates.

(6-2)/(5-(-4))

(6-2)/(5+4)

4/9

So the slope is 4/9
