Example Question #1 : Graphing Lines
What is the slope of the line that contains the points
and
To find the slope of a line with two points you must properly plug the points into the slope equation for two points which is
We must then properly assign the points to the equation as and .
In this case we will make our and our .
Plugging the points into the equation yields
Perform the math to arrive at
The answer is .
