The slope of the line is 1.
Slope of a Line8-2
If you know any two points on a line, or two solutions of a linear equation, you can find the slope of the line without graphing. The slope m of a line through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is as follows:
y2 – y1 x2 – x1
m =

Find the slope of the line that passes through (–2, –3) and (4, 6).
Additional Example 2: Finding Slope, Given Two Points
Let (x1, y1) be (–2, –3) and (x2, y2) be (4, 6).
6 – (–3)4 – (–2)
Substitute 6 for y2, –3 for y1, 4 for x2, and –2 for x1.
