Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through point A (-2,0)and point B (0,10) using m=rise/run

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coordinate of A is -2 and that of B is 0.  The increase in this coordinate from A to B is 2.  Similarly, the y-coordinate increases by 10.  The slope is therefore m = rise / run = 10/2, or m = 5
