A line passes through both points (-2,2) and (8,9). What is the angle between the line and the x axis?
Added by Kelsey M.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the slope of the line using the formula: \( m = \frac{Y_2 - Y_1}{X_2 - X_1} \) Given points: (-2,2) and (8,9) Substitute the values: \( m = \frac{9 - 2}{8 - (-2)} = \frac{7}{10} \) Show more…
