Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (1,5) and (9,8)

Answer 1

The slope of the line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is computed as follows:

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

In this case, the line passes through the points (1,5) and (9,8)​, then its slope is:

`m=(8-5)/(9-1)=(3)/(8)`
