Question

What is the slope of the line segment that passes through
points (1,3) and (5, 13)?

Answer 1

2.5

Explanation:

Gradient (slope) =

`m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (13 - 3)/(5 - 1) = (10)/(4) = 2 (1)/(2)`

Answer 2

Answer: 5/2

Explanation:

slope equation: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

13-3/5-1 = 10/4 or 5/2
