Question

What is the slope of the function if X is 2and 5 and Y is 3and 8

Answer 1

For this case we need to remember the definition of a line given by this formula:

`y=mx+b`

And we have the following points given: (2,3) and (5,8)

And we can find the slope with the following formula:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(8-3)/(5-2)=(5)/(3)`

And using one point we got:

`3=(5)/(3)(2)+b`

And solving for b we got:

`b=3-(10)/(3)=-(1)/(3)`

And our equation would be:

`y=(5)/(3)x-(1)/(3)`
