Question

Find the slope of the line passing through (6, -1) and (7,3). Let (x1, y1) = (6, -1) and (x2.72) = (7,3). Listthe coordinates, fill in the slope formula, and then simplify.X1 =X2Y1 =Y2 =slope

Answer 1

The slope formula is

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

Where,

`x_1=6,y_1=-1,x_2=7,y_2=3_{}`

Replacing these values, we have

`m=(3-(-1))/(7-6)=(3+1)/(1)=4`

Therefore, the slope is 4.
