Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the points named. A(3, 2), B(7, 8) 5/2 3/2 2/3

A. 5/2
B. 3/2
C. 2/3

Answer 1

If two points (a,b) and (x,y) are given use the following formula

slope=y-b/x-a

slope btw (3,2) and (7,8) becomes

slope=8-2/7-3=6/4=3/2
B is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:
`(3)/(2)`

Explanation:

We know that the formula to calculate the slope of line contains points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

`m=(d-b)/(c-a)`

The slope of the line that contains the points named. A(3, 2), B(7, 8) will be:-

`m=(8-2)/(7-3)\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=(6)/(4)\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=(3)/(2)`

Hence, the slope of the line that contains the points named. A(3, 2), B(7, 8) is
`(3)/(2)`
