Question

Consider two points on a graph: (3,6) and (5,11). What is the slope of the line that connects these two points?

Answer 1

Answer is 5/2 slope

Step by step

Slope is rise over run or y/x

To find slope we use slope formula

y2 - y1 over x2 - x1

11 - 6 over 5 - 3

5 over 2 = 5/2 slope

Answer 2

5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (11-6)/((5-3)

= 5/2
