Question

The slope of the line that passes through (1,3) and (3,8)

Answer 1

The equation to be used is: m= (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

M= slope
Y1 is the first y digit of your first coordinate
Y2 is the second digit of your 2nd coordinate
X1 is the first digit of your first coordinate
X2 is the second digit of your second coordinate

Using the formula above the slope should be 5/2

If you have to show the slope on a coordinate plane you would go over 5 and up 2

Answer 2

m = 5/2

Explanation:

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

The points are (1,3) and (3,8)

We see the y increase by 5 and the x increase by 2, so the slope is

m = 5/2
