Question

What is the slope in the simplest form?

Answer 1

1 and positive

Explanation:

→ Utilise gradient formula

( y₂ - y₁ ) ÷ ( x₂ - x₁ )

→ Substitute in the values

( 8 - 4 ) ÷ ( 11 - 7 )

→ Simplify

1

Answer 2

slope = 1

Explanation:

Using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (11, 8)

m =
`(8-4)/(11-7)` =
`(4)/(4)` = 1

The slope is positive
