Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the points
(11, 8) and (17, 26)

Answer 1

Explanation:

(26 - 8)/(17 - 11)= 18/6 = 3 is the slope

Answer 2

3

Explanation:

We can use the slope formula:

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

Let's let (11,8) be x₁ and y₁ and let's let (17,26) be x₂ and y₂. So:

`m=(26-8)/(17-11)`

Subtract:

`m=18/6=3`

So, our slope is 3.

And we're done!
