b. 2
To find the slope of the line passing through the points (-1, 4) and (3, 12), we use the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (12 - 4) / (3 - (-1))
m = 8 / 4
m = 2
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the two points is 2.
What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points?
(–1, 4), (3, 12)
(1 point)
