Question

Find the slope from (3,8) (5,12)

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

the formula is written y2-y1/x2-x1

plug and chug the numbers would be 12-8/5-3

y2=12 and y1=8

12-8=4

x2=5 and x1=3

5-3=2

therefore, the answer is 4/2 which needs to be simplified, simplifying it by dividing it by 2 would equal 2/1 or 2 :)

Hope this makes sense :)

Answer 2

2

Explanation:

1. The slope formula is (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

2. Take your numbers using this: (x1, y1) (x2, y2)

so: x1= 3, x2= 5, y1= 8, y2= 12

3. Now we plug these numbers into our formula.

(12-8) / (5-3)

4. Solve

(12-8) / (5-3) = 4/2 = 2
