How do you find the slope given (-7, 2) and (9, 6)? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer Rachel Apr 7, 2018 We use the point-slope formula #( color(green)(y_2)- color(red)(y_1) )/(color(green)(x_2)-color(red)(x_1))# #(color(green)(-7), color(green)(2))# and #( color(red)(9), color(red)(6) )# #(6-2)/(9- -7)# #4/16# #1/4# That's the slope!
