Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the points
(3, 2) and (7,5)

Answer 1

3/4

Explanation:

The formula for the slope between any two points is:

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

Let's let (3,2) be x₁ and y₁ and let's let (7,5) be x₂ and y₂. Thus:

`m=(5-2)/(7-3)`

Subtract:

`m=3/4=0.75`

So the slope is 3/4 or 0.75.

And we're done!

Answer 2

3/4

Explanation:

We can find the slope using the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (5-2)/(7-3)

=3/4
