Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-1, 2) and (3, 3)?

A -4
B 4
C 1/4
D -1/4

Answer 1

`\Huge \boxed{(1)/(4)}`

Explanation:

Slope formula:

`\displaystyle (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`\displaystyle (3-2)/(3-(-1))=(1)/(4)`

Therefore, the slope is 1/4, and the correct answer is 1/4.

Answer 2

C 1/4

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line given two points, we use the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (3-2)/(3--1)

= (3-2)/(3+1)

= 1/4
