Question

If a line passes through (4,13) and (6,19) what is the slope? And can you please explain how you got your answer

Answer 1

Slope =

6

—

2

Explanation:

First find the rise over run

Second use the format

Y2-y1

———-

X2-x1

Using the format you will get this

19-13

——

6-4

Next solve

Which then you get

6

2

Answer 2

The slope is 3.

Explanation:

The equation for slope is either
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)` or
`(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)`. So this should be
`(19-13)/(6-4)`, which is 3.
