Question

Find the slope between the points (3,4) and (5, 7).

rise
m =
run
Y2 — Y1
X2 — X1

Answer 1

m= 3/2

Explanation:

Answer 2

The slope formula is:

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

Let:

`(x_(1) , y_(1)) = (5 , 7)\\(x_(2) , y_(2)) = (3 , 4)`

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

`m = (y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1)) = ((4) - (7))/((3) - (5)) = (-3)/(-2) = (3)/(2)`

Your slope is:

`m = (3)/(2)`
