Find the slope of line that passes through the points (1, 3) and (5, 8)

Answer 1

To find the slope of a line passing through two points, we can use the formula:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

Using the points (1, 3) and (5, 8), we can calculate the change in y and change in x:

change in y = 8 - 3 = 5
change in x = 5 - 1 = 4

Now, we can substitute these values into the formula:

slope = 5/4

So, the slope of the line passing through the points (1, 3) and (5, 8) is 5/4.
