Question

PLEASE HELP!!!! What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (6, 8)

Answer 1

`(5)/(4)`

Explanation:

to find the slope (m) of a line:

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

where y₁ = 3

y₂ = 8

x₁ = 2

x₂ = 6

plug into the equation:

`m = (8 - 3)/(6 - 2) \\m = (5)/(4)`

so the slope is
`(5)/(4)`
