Question

What is the slope of the line segment between the two points" (3, 1), (5, 2)

Answer 1

1/2

Explanation:

y1-y2/x1-x2

1-2/3-5=1/2

Answer 2

Finding the slope using two points:

The formula for slope is

`(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

In this case...

`y_(2) =2\\y_(1) =1\\x_(2) =5\\x_(1) =3`

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...

`(2-1)/(5-3)`

`(1)/(2)`

^^^This is your slope

Hope this helped!
