Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the two points given.(-2,-5) and (0,13)M=?

Answer 1

The given points are (-2,-5) and (0,13).

We use the slope formula and the points.

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Where,

$\begin{gathered} x_1=-2 \\ x_2=0 \\ y_1=-5 \\ y_2=13 \end{gathered}$

Replacing these values, we have

$m=\frac{13-(-5)}{0-(-2)}=\frac{13+5}{2}=\frac{18}{2}=9$

Therefore, the slope is 9.
