SOLUTION: So if you have coordinates of: 1620,3 4860,9 that would be 9-4860/3-1620 which=-4851/-1617 slope=3 Am I right?

Question 167965: So if you have coordinates of:
1620,3
4860,9
that would be 9-4860/3-1620
which=-4851/-1617
slope=3
Am I right?

I'm assuming that you're looking for the slope (and just the slope) right?

Since we're dealing with the points (1620,3) and (4860,9), this means that , , , and

Start with the slope formula.

Plug in , , , and

Subtract from to get

Subtract from to get

Reduce

So the slope of the line that goes through the points

and

is
