Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through the points (61,-17) and (62,64)

Answer 1

m = 81

Explanation:

Recall that slope m = rise / run.

As we go from (61,-17) to (62,64), the horizontal measurement (x) increases by 1 and the vertical measurement (y) increases by 81.

Thus, the desired slope is

81

m = ------ = 81
