Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the given points. (7,0), (10,21)

Answer 1

Given:

(7,0), (10,21)

To find the slope of the line that passes through the given points, we use the formula:

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

where:

m=slope

Based on the given points, we let:

We plug in what we know:

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ =\frac{21-0}{10-7} \\ \text{Simplify} \\ m=\frac{21}{3} \\ m=7 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the answer is A. The slope is 7.
