Question

What is the slope of the line passing through (1, 2) and (3.8)?

Answer 1

Answer: The slope of the line is 3

Step-by-step explanation: first you take the points (1,2) and (3,8) then you put then in to the slope formula y2-y1 over x2-x1 which would be 8-2 over 3-1 which 8-2 is 6 and 3-1 is 2 therefore it would be 6/2 which simplified is 3 so the slope is three I hope this helps

Answer 2

The slope = 3

Explanation:

The points are:

( 1, 2 ) = x₁ , y₁

( 3, 8 ) = x₂ , y₂

The slope is calculates as follows:

slope =
`(y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

=
`=(8 - 2)/(3-1) \\=(6)/(2) \\=3`
