Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the point (1,3) and (4,7)

Answer 1

4/3

Explanation:

To find the slope from two points, we need to label these coordinates.

(1, 3) will be coordinates 1, and (4, 7) will be coordinates 2.

(Basically 1 = x1, 3 = y1, 4 = x2, 7 = y2)

To find slope, we need to solve this equation:

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

Plug the numbers into the equation.

`(7-3)/(4-1)`

Solve. 4/3

Slope = 4/3
