What is the slope of the line that passes through (-2, 7) and (4, 9)? slope = - slope = slope = 3

The slope is

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

we have the points

(-2, 7) and (4, 9)

substitute the values in the formula

Simplify

if you explain the the question more correctly i might be able to answer this better

step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
