Question

The slope of the line that passes through the point (2,4) and (3,8) is​

Answer 1

Hi! Your answer is m = 4 or slope is 4.

Make sure to read an explanation for a better and clear understanding to your problem.

Any questions about my answer and explanation can be asked through comments! :)

Explanation:

To find a slope of a line with given two coordinate points, we can do by using rise over run or slope formula which is:

`\large\boxed{m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)}`

The boxed formula is the slope formula. The changes of y over the changes of x. This can be called "rate of change".

From (2,4) and (3,8). We substitute the given coordinate points in the formula.

`\huge{m=(8-4)/(3-2)}\\\huge{m=(4)/(1)}\\\huge{m=4}`

Hence, the slope is 4.

Additional Note

• m-term comes from y = mx+b where m is defined as slope in slope-intercept form. Therefore, m = slope.

Hope this helps!
