Question

What is the slope of the line passing through `(-2,-6); (4,7)`?

Answer 1

`color(blue)(m=13/6`

Explanation:

The points are
`(-2,-6) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1`

`(4,7) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2`

The slope is calculated using formula
`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`m=(7 -(-6))/(4-(-2))`

`m=(7 +6)/(4 +2)`

`color(blue)(m=13/6`
