Question

Find the equation of the line passing through the points (1,5) and (3,9)​

Answer 1

Answer:

• $\boxed{\sf{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula.

$\underline{\text{SLOPE:}}$

$\Longrightarrow: \sf{\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{Rise}{Run} }$

$\sf{y_2=9}\\\\\\\sf{y_1=5}\\\\\\\sf{x_2=3}\\\\\\\sf{x_1=1}$

$\sf{\dfrac{9-5}{3-1} }$

Solve.

$\sf{\dfrac{9-5}{3-1}=\dfrac{4}{2}=\boxed{\sf{2}}$

• Therefore, the slope is 2, which is our answer.
