How do you find the slope of a line?

I\'m supposed to find the slope of a line that runs through the points (-4,-3) and (5,3) but I don\'t know how to find it.

Solution

The slope m of the line which passes through (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by: m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

The points given are (-4,-3) and (5,3).

Therefore the slope of the line passing through the given points is

m = [3-(-3)]/[5-(-4)]

m=6/9

m =2/3.

Therefore 2/3. is the slope of the line through (-4 ,-3) and (5,3)
