Question

The slope of the line that passes through the points ( 0 , 3 ) a n d ( 5 , 13 )

Answer 1

m = 2

The formula of a slope:

`\huge\begin{array}{ccc}m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\end{array}`

We have two points:

`(0,\ 3)\to x_1=0,\ y_1=3\\\\(5,\ 13)\to x_2=5,\ y_2=13`

Substitute:

`m=(13-3)/(5-0)\\\\m=(10)/(5)\\\\\boxed{m=2}`

Answer 2

Slope = 2

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ find the slope of the line.

Formula we use,

→ Slope(m) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Then the slope will be,

→ m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

→ m = (13 - 3)/(5 - 0)

→ m = 10/5

→ [ m = 2 ]

Hence, the slope is 2.
