Question

Using the formula find the slope of a line with the points (10,20) and (30,50).

Answer 1

m = 2/3

Explanation:

Slope is defined as the ratio rise/run.

As we move from (10, 20) to (30, 50), the run is 30 - 10, or 20, and the rise is 50 - 20, or 30. Thus, the slope of the line is m = 30/20, or 2/3.
