Question

What is the slope for the following points?(-1,1) and(3,3)

Answer 1

To find the slope for a line that connects the given points, use the following formula:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the given points.

Use:

(x1,y1) = (-1,1)

(x2,y2) = (3,3)

replace the values of the previous parameters in the formula for m:

`m\text{ = }(3-1)/(3-(-1))=(2)/(3+1)=(2)/(4)=(1)/(2)`

Hence, the slope is 1/2
