Question

The slope of a line that passes thru ( 3, 8) and ( 10, 10) is

Answer 1

2/7

Explanation:

The slope is
`(y_(1) -y_(2))/(x_(1) -x_(2))`

You do: (10 -8)/(10-3), and get the slope of...

2/7

Answer 2

slope =
`(2)/(7)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (10, 10)

m =
`(10-8)/(10-3)` =
`(2)/(7)`
