Slope of a Line given points (2, 4) and (-1, 9)

Given Coordinates: x₁ = 2  y₁ = 4,  x₂ = -1  y₂ = 9
Slope Formula: m  =  
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m  =  m  =  m  =  –
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (2, 4) and (-1, 9) is equal to  –

5/3

Note: As a decimal number,  –   ≈ -1.6666666666667
