Question

Consider the points A ( 1 , 1 ) , B ( 2 , 4 ) , C ( 3 , − 1 ) , and D ( 5 , 6 ) . Point A is joined to point B to create segment AB and point C is joined to point D to create segment CD.
Part A

What is the slope of AB?

What is the slope of CD

Answer 1

Answer:

AB= 3

CD= 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula:

m= (y{2} - y{1}) / (x{2} -x(1})

So

AB's slope equals (4-1)/ (2-1)

m= 3/1

m=3

And

CD's slope equals (6- {-1})/(5-3)

m= 7/2

m=3.5

Hope this helps!
