Question

Find the slope of the line using the two given points.

(0, -2) and (3, 4)

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope formula, we can find the slope of two points:

        y2 - y1

m = --------------

        x2 - x1

The slope is the same thing as change in y over change in x. Now, plugging in the points (0, -2) and (3, 4):

       4 - (-2)       4 + 2     6

m = -----------  =  ------- = ------  =  2

        3 - 0            3         3

So the slope is 2.
