Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 1) and (4, 4)?

Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

The answer is 1

Explanation:

Formula for finding the slope:
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Take y2 and y1 from (4,4) (1,1)

Take x2 and x1 from (4,4) (1,1)

`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (4-1)/(4-1) = (3)/(3) = 1`

This is how the answer is 1
