Question

A line in the Cartesian plane passes through the points (1, 3) and (5, 4). What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

The answer is (A) 1/4

Answer 2

Answer:

Slope of the line is  $m=\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A line in the Cartesian plane passes through the points  A $(x_1,y_1)=(1,3)$ and B  $(x_2,y_2)=(5,4)$

To find : The slope of line

Formula used :

Slope formula of two points →$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Now, put the values in formula

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

$m=\frac{4-3}{5-1}$

$m=\frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is  $m=\frac{1}{4}$
