Find the slope of the line given the following points on the line:
(-6, 4) and 2, 7)

Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\sf Slope:3/8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the slope of a line given the coordinates of two points on the line, use the slope formula.
[tex]\boxed{\sf \sf{Slope\;(m)}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}[/tex]
x1 and y1 are the coordinates of the first point. The second point's coordinates are x2, y2.
Points: [tex]\sf (-6, 4) \:and \:(2, 7)[/tex]
[tex]\longmapsto\sf \left(x_1,\:y_1\right):\left(-6,\:4\right)[/tex]
[tex]\longmapsto\sf \left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(2,\:7\right)[/tex]
_______________
[tex]\leadsto\sf m=\cfrac{7-4}{2-\left(-6\right)}[/tex]
[tex]\leadsto\sf m=\cfrac{3}{8}[/tex]
