Question

A line has the points (3,7) (4,9) (5,11) (6,13). If the slope is divided by 2, what is the new slope?

Answer 1

Answer:

The new slope is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of any two points can be found by:

$slope=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Finding slope of (3,7) (4,9)

$slope=\frac{9-7}{4-3}\\slope=\frac{2}{1}\\slope=2$

Finding slope of (4,9) (5,11)

$slope=\frac{11-9}{5-4}\\slope=\frac{2}{1}\\slope=2$

So, the slope of the line is 2

Now if slope is divided by 2, new slope will be:

$slope = \frac{2}{2}\\slope=1$

So, The new slope is 1
