Question

Calculate the slope of the following line. Use the given point as (x1y1). Locate a second point on the line to represent (x2, y2).

Type a numerical answer in the space provided. Do not type spaces in your answer. If necessary, use the / key to represent a fraction bar.

Answer 1

The slope = 2.

Explanation:

From the graph we see that the line passes through (2, 3).

So the slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (3-1)(2-1)

= 2/1

= 2.
