Question

Find the slope between the 2 points (-2,3)(4,9)

a
-1

b
1

c
-3

Answer 1

To find the slope between the two points \((-2, 3)\) and \((4, 9)\), we can use the formula for slope \(m\):

\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

Here, \((x_1, y_1) = (-2, 3)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (4, 9)\).

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[
m = \frac{9 - 3}{4 - (-2)}
\]
\[
m = \frac{6}{4 + 2}
\]
\[
m = \frac{6}{6} = 1
\]

So, the slope is \(1\).

The correct answer is:

**b) 1**
