Question

Find the slope of the line passes through the points (2, 5) and (9, 8).

Answer 1

• The correct option is 3/7

Step by Step Explanation:

Given:

• line passing through points (2,5) and (9,8)

To find:

• Slope of the line

Solution:-

Here, to find the slope of line passing through two points x₁,x₁ and y₁,y₂ is given by:-

$\sf m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

where,

x₁ = 2

x₂ = 9

y₁ = 5

y₂ = 8

Therefore putting the values , we get

$\sf \: m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \\ \\ : \longrightarrow \: \frac{8 - 5}{9 - 2} \\ \\ : \longrightarrow \: \frac{3}{7}$

Hence, the slope of line passes through the points (2, 5) and (9, 8) is 3/7.
