Question

What is the slope of a linear function that passes
between (2, 7) and (5, 12)?

Answer 1

5/3 is the slope

Explanation:

Use the slope formula

m = y2 - y1/ x2 -x1

Answer 2

Slope = 5/3

Explanation:

Formula we use,

→ Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Now the required slope will be,

→ m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

→ m = (12 - 7)/(5 - 2)

→ [ m = 5/3 ]

Hence, required slope is 5/3.
