whats the slope?

Question

(-2, -3) and (1,3). find the slope of this equation.

Answer 1

slope =2

divide the difference in y coordinates by the corresponding difference in x coordinates. Slope = "rise over run" how much y increases as x increases

(-2,-3) (1,3)

(3- -3)/(1- -2) = 6/3 = 2= slope, as x increases by 1, y increases by 2

from (-2,-3) to (1,3) x increased by 3 and y increased by 6. 6/3 = 2 = slope
