Question

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line that passes through the points (5,2) and (13,3)A)m=7B)m=-2/11C)m=1/8D)m=3/11

Answer 1

Given the word problem, we can deduce the following information:

1. The line that passes through the points (5,2) and (13,3).

We can get the slope of the line using the slope formula:

Based on the given points, we let:

We plug in what we know:

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ =(3-2)/(13-5) \\ \text{Simplify} \\ m=(1)/(8) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the answer is c. m=1/8.
