Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (1, 2) and (4, 3).

Answer 1

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

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

The coordinates of the first point are (x1, y1) = (1, 2), and the coordinates of the second point are (x2, y2) = (4, 3).

Substituting these values into the formula,

m = (3 - 2) / (4 - 1)

= 1 / 3

So, the slope of the line passing through (1, 2) and (4, 3) is 1/3.
