Question

Using the given points, determine the slope. (0, 32) and (100, 212)

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is $m=\frac{9}{5}$ or in decimal form $m=1.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Find the slope

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

$m=\frac{212-32}{100-0}$

$m=\frac{180}{100}$

$m=\frac{180/20}{100/20}$

$m=\frac{9}{5}$

$m=1.8$

Answer:  The slope is $m=\frac{9}{5}$ or in decimal form $m=1.8$

Answer 2

Slope=m=y/x=rise/run=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
Labeling the question; 0=x1, 32=y1, 100=x2, 212=y2
so just go ahead and fill the numbers in;
(32-212)/(0-100)=(-180/-100)=1.8
so therefore, the slope is at 1.8
