Given Coordinates: x1 = -2 y1 = 1, x2 = 2 y2 = 9
Slope Formula: m =
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m =
m = 2
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-2, 1) and (2, 9) is equal to 2
Slope Formula: m =
y2 − y1/x2 − x1
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m =
9 − 1/2 − (-2)
m = 9 − 1/2 + 2
m = 8/4
(Greatest Common Factor of 8 and 4, GCF(8, 4) = 4)m = 2
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-2, 1) and (2, 9) is equal to 2
