Question

find the slope of the line that goes through the given points (-2,-4) (1/4,5)

Answer 1

Solution

find the slope of the line that goes through the given points (-2,-4) (1/4,5)

$\begin{gathered} slope\text{ =m} \\ m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} x_1=-2 \\ x_2=\frac{1}{4} \\ y_1=-4 \\ y_2=5 \end{gathered}$$m=\frac{5--4}{\frac{1}{4}--2}=\frac{9}{2.25}=4$

Therefore the slope of the line = 4
