Using our formula y2-y1/x2-x1, find the slope of a line through two ordered pairs show your work (-3,-4)(4,5)

Respuesta :

Given:

The two points are (-3,-4) and (4,5).

To find:

The slope of the line that passes through the given points.

Solution:

The slope formula is

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

The line passes through the points (-3,-4) and (4,5). So, the slope of the line is

[tex]m=\dfrac{5-(-4)}{4-(-3)}[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{5+4}{4+3}[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{9}{7}[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the given line is [tex]m=\dfrac{9}{7}[/tex].
