Question

2 Points
What is the slope of the line shown below
(3,9)
(1,1)

Answer 1

The slope is 4

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the slope of the line goin through (3,9) and (1,1)

We use the slope formula:

`m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We substitute the points into the slope formula to get;

`m = (1 - 9)/(1 - 3)`

This simplifies to:

`m = ( - 8)/( - 2)`

`m = 4`

Hence the slope of the line is 4.
