Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (68, 80) and (4, 34).

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

The slope of the line is
`(23)/(32)`.

Explanation:

We use the formula change in y over change in x to find the slope of the line:

`(80-34)/(68-4)`

Then we simplify:

`(46)/(64) =(23)/(32)`

The slope of the line is
`(23)/(32)`.
