Question

Find the slope of the line passing though the points in the table below ?

Answer 1

The slope is 3

Explanation:

The formula for finding slope through two points is
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )`. So let's use the points (1,5) and (2,8). When we insert these two into the formula, we get
`(8-5)/(2-1\\)`, which is then equal to
`(3)/(1)` which is just 3. So the slope is 3. Hope you understand!
