Exercise 4 Page 321

Substitute the given points into the Slope Formula.

1

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

SubstitutePoints

Substitute ( -2,1) & ( 3,6)

m=6- 1/3-( -2)

a-(- b)=a+b

m=6-1/3+2

Add and subtract terms

m=5/5

Calculate quotient

m=1

The slope of the line that passes through the given points is 1.
