Question

Find the slope of a line through the points (0,0) and (2, 9). Round your

answer to 1 decimal place.
SLope = y2-y1 / x2-x1

Answer 1

Slope = 4.5

Explanation:

We need to find the slope of a line through the points (0,0) and (2, 9).

We know that, the slope of a line is given by :

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We have, x₁ = 0, x₂ = 2, y₁ = 0 and y₂ = 9

Put all the values,

`m=(9-0)/(2-0)\\\\m=4.5`

So, the slope of the line is 4.5.
