Question

325-162.5/10-5 (Find the slope from big ideas math)

Answer 1

`32(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Typically, to find the slope of the line we use the formula
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)` where y2, y1, x2, and x1 are the point's coordinates. Since the expression is already written for us, we just have to evaluate.

`(325-162.5)/(10-5)`

Evaluate

`(162.5)/(5)`

We cannot use decimals for our slope so we need to convert 162.5 into a fraction.

`(162(1)/(2))/(5)`

Evaluate further

`32(1)/(2)`

The slope is
`32(1)/(2)`
