Question

3. The

following points lie on the line of
a function: (1, 4) and (¯2, 1). The
y-intercept of the same function is closer
to (1, 4) than (2, 1). What is the slope
of the function?

Answer 1

The slope is 1

Explanation:

For this question, all you have to do is use the formula to find the slope.

The formula is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

So you do (1 - 4)/(-2 - 1). This will lead to -3/-3 which is 1. So the slope is 1.
