Find the slope of the line through (-3,2),(4,16)

Answer 1

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) Plugging in points

m = (16-2)/(4-(-3)) Simplify

m = (16-2)/(4+3) Simplify

m = 14/7 Divide

m = 2

Answer 2

Whenever two points are given and you need to find the slope of a line , then you have to use the formula:

( y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

so, if we consider (x1, y1) = (-3, 2)

and (x2, y2 ) =( 4 , 16)

Then the slope m = (16 - 2) / (4 - (-3)) => 14 / 7 => 2

Hence, the slope the line, m = 2.
