Question

What is the slope of the line below? If necessary, enter your answer as a

fraction in lowest terms, using the slash (/) as the fraction bar. Do not enter
your answer as a decimal number or an equation.

Answer 1

slope = 3

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 9) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(9-3)/(3-1)` =
`(6)/(2)` = 3
