Question

Write the slope of the line containing each pair of points.

1. (3, 4) and (5, 7)
2. (5, 2) and (9,4)

Kinda confused on this

Answer 1

1) 1.5 2) 0.5

Explanation:

To find slope using two points like (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), the slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), so for first question (7-4)/(5-3) = 3/2 = 1.5, and same for the second question.
