Question

Find the slope of a line passing through these ordered pairs. Show your work.

(2, 4) (15, 9)

Answer 1

The slope of line passing through points (2 , 4) and (15 , 9) is
`(5)/(13)`

Explanation:

Given as :

A line is passing through the points

i.e
`x_1` ,
`y_1` = 2 , 4

And
`x_2` ,
`y_2` = 15 , 9

Let The slope of line = m

Now, Slope of line is determine as

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

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

Or, m =
`(9 - 4)/(15 - 2)`

Or, m =
`(5)/(13)`

So, The slope of line = m =
`(5)/(13)`

Hence, The slope of line passing through points (2 , 4) and (15 , 9) is
`(5)/(13)` Answer
