Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, 5) and (1, 7)?

A) 1/2

B) 1

C) 2

I'll give 20 points.

Answer 1

m=y-y/x-x

m=5-7/-3-1

m=-2/-4

m=1/2

A)1/2

Answer 2

Find out the what is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, 5) and (1, 7) .

To prove

Formula for slope

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

The points are (-3, 5) and (1, 7) .

Put in the formula

`m = (7 - 5)/(1 - (-3))`

`m = (2)/(1 + 3)`

`m = (2)/(4)`

Simplify the above

`m = (1)/(2)`

Option (A) is correct .
