Question

What is the slope of the line through (-1,-7) and (3,9)?

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula is:

$\frac{y_{2-y_{1} } }{x_{2-x_{1} } }$

Plug the numbers in, let's say (-1,-7) is our "1" and (3,9) is our "2"

$\frac{9-(-7)}{3-(-1)}$

$\frac{16}{4}$

Simplifies to 4 , so the slope is 4
