Question

Find the slope of the line through the points (3, 4) and (4,8).

Answer 1

m = 4

Explanation:

`m=(rise)/(run)=(8-4)/(4-3)=(4)/(1) =\boxed{4}`

• Slope Formula:
  `m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (3, 4)

Point (4, 8)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute [SF]:
   `m=(8-4)/(4-3)`
2. Subtract:
   `m=(4)/(1)`
3. Divide:
   `m=4`
