Question

Find the slope of the function that contains the following 2 points (-4,5)& (2,9)

Answer 1

Tiara, slope is the difference in y's over the difference in x's...

 

(9 - 5)/(2 - (-4))

4/6 = 2/3

 

Just make sure you go in the same direction with both. We could have also done...

 

(5 - 9)/(-4 - 2)

-4/-6 = 2/3
