Questions: Find the slope of the line.

Transcript text: Find the slope of the line.

Solution

Step 1: Identify Two Points on the Line

Select two points on the line. For example, the points (-6, -7) and (1, 4).

Step 2: Apply the Slope Formula

Use the slope formula \( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \).

Step 3: Substitute the Coordinates

Substitute the coordinates of the points into the formula: \[ m = \frac{4 - (-7)}{1 - (-6)} = \frac{4 + 7}{1 + 6} = \frac{11}{7} \]

The slope \( m \) of the line is \( \frac{11}{7} \).
