Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (25,50) and (80,110)

Answer 1

12/11

Explanation:

the formula to find the slope of a line is:

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

where
`m` is the slope and
`(x_(1),y_(1))` and
`(x_(2),y_(2))` are the points where the line passes.

in this case we have that the first point is: (25,50) thus⇒
`x_(1)=25` and
`y_(1)=50`

and the second point: (80,110) thus ⇒
`x_(2)=80` and
`y_(2)=110`

substituting this values into the formula for the slope:

`m=(110-50)/(80-25) \\\\m=(60)/(55)\\ \\m=(12)/(11)`

the slope of the line is 12/11
