Question

Find the slope of AB for the given points.

Describe the slant of the segment.
A(1, 1), B(5, 4)

Answer 1

The slope AB is
`m=(3)/(4)` or
`m=0.75`

The slope of this line is positive so slant up as you move from left to right.

Explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

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

we have

`A(1,1)\ B(5,4)`

Substitute the values

`m=(4-1)/(5-1)`

`m=(3)/(4)`

The slope of this line is positive so slant up as you move from left to right.
