Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the following pair of points (4,3), (6,7)

Answer 1

The equation of the line is 2x-5. The gradient is the number that comes before the x, so the slope is 2.

Answer 2

use the point slope formula
`( y_(2)- y_(1) )/( x_(2) - x_(1) )` plug in your numbers where 4=x1, 3=y1, 6=x2, and 7=y2
`( 7-3)/( 6- 4 )`
`(4)/(2) }` which equals 2
