(4,3), (-2,8)

Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope


Slope of the line through the points (4, 3) and (-2, 8)



m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29


m+=+%288+-+3%29%2F%28-2+-+4%29


m+=+%285%29%2F%28-6%29


m+=+-5%2F6



Answer: Slope is m+=+-5%2F6



(-4.2, 4), (8.6,7.2)

Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope


Slope of the line through the points (-4.2, 4) and (8.6, 7.2)



m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29


m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+%28x%5B1%5D%29%29


m+=+%287.2+-+4%29%2F%288.6+-+%28-4.2%29%29


m+=+%287.2+-+4%29%2F%288.6+%2B+4.2%29


m+=+%283.2%29%2F%2812.8%29


m+=+0.25



Answer: Slope is m+=+0.25
