Question

A line intersects the points

(2, 5) and (3, 11).
What is the slope of the line in
simplest form?
m = [?]

Answer 1

m = 6

Explanation:

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

Points: (2, 5) and (3, 11)

We see the y increase by 6 and the x increase by 1, so the slope is

m = 6/1 = 6
