Using the slope formula m =
x1 = 2
x2 = 3
y1 = -1
y2 = 5
m = =
m = 6 is the slope
Create the equation using y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y -(-1) = 6(x - 2)
y + 1 = 6x - 12
y = 6x -12 - 1
y = 6x -13
which is
The formula for the slope of a straight line passing through two given points (,) and (,) is
m = .
In your case, = 2, = -1, = 3, = 5,
Substitute these values into the formula and calculate
m = = = 6.
Answer. The slope is 6.
