Question

Can someone help me and explain this please. I don’t understand what to do.

Answer 1

The answer is 3 or 3/1

Explanation:

The equation you use is m=y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 2

Slope = 3

Explanation:

`\boxed{\begin{minipage}{4.4cm}\underline{Slope Formula}\\\\Slope $(m)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$\\\\where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ \\are two points on the line.\\\end{minipage}}`

Define two points on the line from the given table:

• 
  `\textsf{Let}\:(x_1,y_1)=(2,7)`

• 
  `\textsf{Let}\:(x_2,y_2)=(4,13)`

Substitute the defined points into the formula:

`\implies \textsf{Slope}=(13-7)/(4-2)=(6)/(2)=3`

Note:

• The change between each y-value is 6.
• The change between each x-value is 2.

Therefore, the question may require you to enter 6/2 into the answer boxes. However, the slope of the line is 3.
