Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (4, 4) and (5, 7).

Answer 1

y = 3x - 8

Explanation:

y = Mx + c

m = 3 / 1

4 = 3(4) + c

4 - 12 = c

Answer 2

3

Explanation:

Slope of a line between any two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by the equation:

`(y_(2) - y_(1) )/(x_(2) - x_(1) )`

let's take (x1,y1) as (4,4) and (x2,y2) as (5,7)

So slope =
`(7-4)/(5-4)` = 3
