Question

What is the slope of the following 2 points
(5,1) and (8,3)

Answer 1

2/3

Explanation:

The formula for slope is y2 - y1 over x2 - x1.

If we plug our numbers in we get 3-1=2

and.

8-5= 3

so the answer is 2/3.

Answer 2

2/3

Explanation:

use point slope formula:
`(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`to find the slope.

3-1=2

8-5=3

your slope is 2/3
