Question

What is the slope of the line joining (3, 8) and ( 12, 13)

Answer 1

slope =
`(5)/(9)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (12, 13)

m =
`(13-8)/(12-3)` =
`(5)/(9)`

Answer 2

slope = 5/9 I think

Explanation:

13 - 8 = 5

12 - 3 = 9
