Question

Using the given points and line, determine the slope

(0,32) and (100,212)

Answer 1

To solve for the slope given two lines, use the formula:

(y₂ - y₁)
----------
(x₂ - x₁)

Set one of the points as (x₁, y₁), and the other as (x₂, y₂).

(x₁, y₁) = (0,32)
(x₂, y₂) = (100,212)

plug into corresponding places:


(y₂ - y₁) (212 - 32) (180)
---------- = -------------- = -------
(x₂ - x₁) (100 - 0) (100)


180/100 is your slope

If you want simplified, it will be: 9/5

hope this helps
