Exercise 15 Page 91

Substitute the given points into the Slope Formula.

3

Practice makes perfect

We can calculate the slope by substituting the given points into the Slope Formula. m = y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1 Note that it does not matter which point we choose to use for ( x_1, y_1) and ( x_2, y_2), since the result of using the Slope Formula will be the same.

m=y_2- y_1/x_2- x_1
m=15- 6/1-( - 2)
â–¼
Subtract terms
m=15-6/1+2
m=9/3
m=3

The slope of the line that passes through the given points is 3.
