Question

Determine the slope of the line that contains the given points.


I(–2, –9), P(2, 4)

Answer 1

Answer:

13/4 or 2.25 when rounded

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

To find the slope through any pair of points, use this formula:

$\boxed{\begin{gathered}\underline{\sf{Slope\;Formula}}\\\\\sf{m=\cfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}\end{gathered}}$

Plug in the points:

$\sf{m=\cfrac{4-(-9)}{2-(-2)}}$

$\sf{m=\cfrac{4+9}{2+2}}$

$\sf{m=\cfrac{13}{4}}$

Hence, M = 13/4.
