Question

A line passes through the points (5, 7) and

(16,35) in the xy-plane. What is the slope
of the line?

Answer 1

Slope = 2 6/11

Explanation:

Formula:
`(y2)/(x2) - (y1)/(x1) = m`

m = slope.

Substitute the given points into the formula:

`(35)/(16) - (7)/(5) = m`

Solve:

`(35)/(16) - (7)/(5) = (28)/(11) = 2 (6)/(11)`
