Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points A(–2, –1) and D(3, 5)?

Answer 1

Hi Slfk,

 

Slope is described as rise over run, or in mathematical notation,

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) where m represents slope and x and y represent the x-y coordinates of a point.

So, we are given two points with x and y coordinates. All we need to do is plug them in the equation above.

m = (5-(-1)/(3-(-2))

= 6 / 5 or 1.2
