Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through (5,4) and (7,10)a.3b. -3 C. 2D.-2

Answer 1

a.3

Explanation:

To find the slope, use the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( 10-4)/(7-5)

= 6/2

= 3

Answer 2

To find a slope of a line we need two points, so we will do it as follows.

`m=(\Delta y)/(\Delta x)=(10-4)/(7-5)=(6)/(2)=3`

Therefore it is (a) the slope is 3.
