Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3,4) and (0,-2)? Write your answer in simplist form.

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

The slope intercept form definition

y= mx + b is the slope intercept form of a line where m is the slope and b is the y -intercept

Slope between two points:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}$

(x1,y1) = (3,4) , (x2,y2) = (0,-2)

$m=\frac{-2-4}{0-3}$

Refine

m=2

The slope of the line that passes through the points (3,4) and (0,-2) is m=2
