Question

Find the slope of a line passing through these ordered pairs. Show your work. (2, 4) (15, 9)

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of line passing through points (2 , 4) and (15 , 9) is  $\dfrac{5}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

A line is passing through the points

i.e $x_1$ , $y_1$ = 2 , 4

And  $x_2$ , $y_2$ = 15 , 9

Let The slope of line = m

Now, Slope of line is determine as

slope = $\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Or, m = $\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Or, m = $\dfrac{9 - 4}{15 - 2}$

Or, m = $\dfrac{5}{13}$

So, The slope of line = m = $\dfrac{5}{13}$

Hence, The slope of line passing through points (2 , 4) and (15 , 9) is  $\dfrac{5}{13}$  Answer
