Answer:

The slope of the line passing through (1, 2) and (3, 8) is:

Slope = 3

Explanation:

Given the points

  • (1, 2)
  • (3, 8)

Here:

(x₁, y₁) = (1, 2)

(x₂, y₂) = (3, 8)

Using the formula

Slope = m = [y₂ - y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]

= [8 - 2] / [3 - 1]

= 6 / 2

= 3

Thus, the slope of the line passing through (1, 2) and (3, 8) is:

Slope = 3
