Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through each points (5,3), (6,9)

Answer 1

Subtract the smaller x value from the larger x value.

6 - 5 = 1

Then, subtract the smaller y value from the larger y value.

9 - 3 = 6

Finally, put these two numbers into the (x,y) format.

Answer: (1,6)

Answer 2

You do 9-3/6-5 and that is 3/1 so the slope is 3 (y2-y1/x2-x1)
