Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points listed in the table?

x | y
4 | 3
7 | 9

A. -2

B. 2

C. 3

D. 6

Answer 1

B. 2

Explanation:

(4, 3) (7, 9) M = Slope

M =
`(y^2-y^1)/(x^2-x^1)` Slope formula

`M=(9-3)/(7-4)` Using the slope formula, plot both x and y intercepts

`M=(6)/(3)` Slope needs to be simplified into a whole number

`M=2`
