Question

What is the slope of the line joining (3,8) and (12,11) . Show work

Answer 1

Slope is found by doing this formula:

`(rise)/(run)`
So, if we graph the points. We will see that the y value changes

`11-8=3`
That's our rise.

Then, for the run

`12-3=9`

The slope would look like this

Our fraction:
`(3)/(9)`

`3/9=0.3333...`
That's our slope!
