Answer:

(1,2) , (3,8)

Slope is equal to the change in y

over the change in x

, or rise over run.

m=change in ychange in x

The change in x

is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in y

is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise).

m=y2−y1x2−x1

Substitute in the values of x

and y

into the equation to find the slope.

m=8−(2)3−(1)

Simplify.
