The graph below shows a line segment PQ: Graph of line segment PQ with endpoints at negative 2 comma 1 and 4 comma 4 What is the slope of the line segment PQ?

Answer 1

Knowing the ordered points (-2,1) and (4,4) of line PQ, the slope m = (y₂ - y₁₎ / (x₂ - x₁)

Doesn't matter which points you made P1 and P2...the slope will be the same

Say P₂ as (4, 4) and P₁ (-2, 1)

Slope = (y₂ - y₁₎ / (x₂ - x₁) = (4 - 1) / (4 - (-2)) = ³/₆ ....reduce further, the SLOPE = ¹/₂
