Question

A line in the Cartesian plane passes through the points ( 5,8) and (9, 15) . What's the slope of the line? A. 4/7 B. 7/4 C. - 4/7 D. -7/4

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the two points (5,8) and (9,15) we have to use the slope formula

$slope=\frac{y_{2}- y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$             $slope=\frac{15-8}{9 -5}$      

$slope=\frac{7}{4}$  can also be written as a decimal  $slope=1.75$
