Question

A. Find the slope of the line that passes through these points.

The slope is
(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

b. Is the slope between (1,4) And (3,12) the same as the slope between (3,12) and (4,16)?
Explain.


O A. Yes. Both slopes are equal to
(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

O B. No. The slope between (1,4) and (3,12) is equal to (4,16)

. The slope between (3,12) and
th

Answer 1

slope formula :
`\bold{ \sf (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)}`

a. coordinates : (3,12) and (4,16)

`\sf \rightarrow (16-12)/(4-3)`

`\sf \rightarrow (4)/(1)`

`\sf \rightarrow 4`

b. coordinates : (1,4) and (3,12)

`\sf \rightarrow (12-4)/(3-1)`

`\sf \rightarrow (8)/(2)`

`\sf \rightarrow 4`

⇒ A. Yes. Both slopes are equal to 4
