Question

Find the slope
(3,5) and (6,9)

Answer 1

4/3 or 1 1/3

Explanation:

To find slope, we subtract the y-values (9 - 5), then divide the difference we find from that by the difference of the x-values (6 - 3). So, let's go ahead and do that now. First, what's 9 - 5? Well, the answer is 4. Next, we have to divide this value by 6 - 3, which is equivalent to 3. Then, we divide the two numbers - what is 4 ÷ 3? Well, we can represent this as 4/3, or 1 1/3. Hopefully that's helpful - if you have any questions on that, let me know! :)

Answer 2

Slope is 4/3

Explanation:

Slope or gradient can be found by using several formulas. For this situation, we can use rate of changes between two points also known as rise over run or changes in y over change so in x.

The formula of slope between two points can be expressed as several equations, expressions, etc such as:

`\displaystyle \large{m=(dy)/(dx)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) =(\Delta y)/(\Delta x)` where m is a variable representing the slope.

Since we are given two points, we are going to use the y2-y1 over x2-x1 formula.

Let (3,5) be (x1,y1,) and (6,9) be (x2,y2) thus the slope is
`\displaystyle \large{m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) =(9-5)/(6-3) =(4)/(3)`

Therefore the slope of two points is 4/3.
