Question

What is the slope of the line through the points (-2, -1) and (4, 3)? ​

Answer 1

Ans: 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula : $m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2- x1}$  (Then replace the number in )

= 3- (-1) / 4 - (-2) = 4 / 6 = 2 / 3

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is always the ratio "y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point on the line to another.

so, when going from (-2, -1) to (4, 3)

x changes by +6 (from -2 to 4).

y changes by +4 (from -1 to 3).

therefore, the slope is

+4/+6 = 4/6 = 2/3
