Question

How would I find two points on the graph to find the slope?

Answer 1

well, let's use those two points on the picture below.

`(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{8}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{8}-\stackrel{y1}{2}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{5}-\underset{x_1}{2}}}\implies \cfrac{6}{3}\implies 2`
