Given Coordinates: x1 = -1 y1 = -2, x2 = 1 y2 = 4
Slope Formula: m =
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m =
m =
m = 3
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-1, -2) and (1, 4) is equal to 3
Slope Formula: m =
y2 − y1/x2 − x1
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m =
4 − (-2)/1 − (-1)
m =
4 + 2/1 + 1
m = 6/2
(Greatest Common Factor of 6 and 2, GCF(6, 2) = 2)m = 3
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-1, -2) and (1, 4) is equal to 3
