Question

Using the given points, determine the slope.

(0, 32) and (100, 212)

Answer 1

Slope simply put is the "rise over run" of an equation.

So, to find the "rise" you must first find the change in the y values:

212 - 32 = 180

Now for the "run" we do the same thing with the x values:

100 - 0 = 100

So, following the "rise over run" scenario we end up with
`(180)/(100)` which when simplified ends up being
`(9)/(5)`

Answer 2

`m=(9)/(5)` or in decimal form
`m=1.8\\`

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the slope

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

`m=(212-32)/(100-0)`

`m=(180)/(100)`

`m=(180/20)/(100/20)`

`m=(9)/(5)`

`m=1.8\\`

Answer:
`m=(9)/(5)` or in decimal form
`m=1.8\\`
